How to get paint name from a code?

Tony01

C 0Y 2.75,

E OY O.25

L 0Y 5.25

Hi Tony,

Is it a colour correction? Does the label not have a colour name?

I'll send the formula to our Taubmans Rep and see what he says

Cheers

The Taubmans Rep got back to me and advised that unfortunately there is no way to link a formula to a colour

Hello @Tony01

Do you by any chance still have the sample pot container in your possession? If you do, it's possible that the formula sticker is still visible on the pot itself. It might be possible to track it down, however, if the only thing you have is the formula or the sample pot itself with no sticker, I suggest bringing it to the store and speaking to the senior paint specialist and see if they can find a colour match for you. It might not be exactly the same, but it will be very close to the original paint that you have.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
