Matching paint in a photo (Spencer4's pussy)
Here's a question that perhaps the more graphic-design-savvy can help me answer:
How do I match the colours in this image to wall paint for our new bedroom?
I tried to match the colours by memory at the paint shop and ended up with an unholy disaster of a room that my wife refuses to enter!
Is there someway of getting close to the paint colours just from this image?
Is there someone with Hero like super powers who can maych this image by eye?

It's not foolproof in fact it may be rubbish but I've just sampled it in Photoshop and got these colour splits Red 199 Green 170 Blue 125 for the centre of the panel and Red 173 Green 149 Blue 130 for the bownyish outside.
I think if you recreate the colours from those results you cannot be far away from the photos at least. Probably

In case anyone ever finds this thread again, here is the solution that I came up with.
First I opened the photo in PaintShopPro (vers 4 free download).
Then I used the eye dropper tool to sample the lightest areas.
THen I entered the RGB values here, selecting NCS as my target colour range.
(NCS is used here in Sweden.)
I brought the paint from the local paint shop and the colours are interesting, although a little on the orangy side perhaps.
Still it's close enough. Thanks for everyone's contribution on this.

Didn't I say thank you?Spencer4 wrote:So basically what I told you then
Well, thank you anyway, for the first half of the answer, which was very good, and not in anyway only half an answer at all. As my way of showing appreciation to your Royal wiskeriness, here are your colours as NCS paint colours:
