What Information is on the Paint Tracker?

The following columns are included on the paint tracker printable:

• Room
• Date Painted
• Color/ Hex Code
• Brand
• Product Line
• Sheen
• Store
• Quantity

For best results, fill in information for each column.

Room

Be specific!

Instead of writing “bedroom” in the first column, indicate which bedroom. Was it the master bedroom, guest bedroom, or kid’s bedroom? By writing the name of the room, you won’t be trying to figure it out months (or years down the road). 

The same color may be used in different spaces. Write a single room on each line and fill in all the information pertaining to that space.

You could also use this space to write a piece of furniture you paint!

Date Painted

Time has a way of passing quickly. Write down the date each space is painted.

Color/Hex Code

Write down the name and number of your color. This is handy so you are not reliant on a paint color swatch should a color match be needed. The Paint Color Tracker assists you in achieving more accurate color representation by recording the paint colors used in each room.

No more relying solely on paint chips or swatches – have the exact color at your fingertips for future touch-ups. Sometimes, I write the name of the paint color on paint sticks after stirring the paint.

This can also help serve as a paint chip for color matching later. But this won’t be a concern if the detailed color name and number are recorded!

Brand

Many paint brands are often within the same store, especially if your paint was purchased at a big box store such as Home Depot. Writing it down is an easy way to help you find it again.

Juggling between different brands like Sherwin-Williams, Behr, and Glidden? The Paint Color Tracker is your go-to resource for recording the paint brand used in each project. Stay organized, ensuring you never mix the wrong colors or mistakenly purchase the wrong brand for touch-ups.

Product Line

Often, within the specific brands, there are different product lines. Document as many details as possible for future reference.

Sheen

The sheen of paint refers to its level of gloss or shine, ranging from matte to high gloss. Keeping track of the sheen is crucial for future reference as it directly influences the aesthetic and durability of a painted surface.

Whether choosing a subtle matte finish for a cozy living room or a durable semi-gloss for high-traffic areas, noting the sheen ensures consistency in style and functionality across various painting projects in your home.

Store Name

Whether you got your paint at your local hardware store or a designated paint store, please write it down.

Quantity

How much paint did it take for your room? Write down the quantity as well as how many coats were required.
