Kwal To Sherwin Williams Conversion (2024)

FAQs

Is Kwal paint still in business? ›

Kwal no longer exists

I would not work for another paint store, not my cup of tea.

Having said that, you can't really go wrong with either Sherwin Williams or Ben Moore. From a pure paint quality standpoint, they are nearly equivalent. Accordingly, they both carry bad, better, and premium paint lines that are priced differently.

SW Alabaster and BM White Dove are pretty similar colors, but White Dove is a bit lighter. Both colors have grayed-out yellow undertones, but White Dove is a bit more grayed-out and muted so it looks less creamy on the wall.

Here's how it works: You bring the item you wish to match – a color chip, rug, pillow, carpet sample, etc., – to any Sherwin-Williams store. Just make sure it's at least the size of a dime and has a consistent color and finish – nothing porous, mirrored or high-gloss.

Since 2017, Distell Group Limited owns a majority share in KWAL, having acquired an additional 26% stake from the Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation (ICDC) now Kenya Development Corporation (KDC).

When it comes to durability, an enamel- or oil-based paint is usually the right choice.

Sherwin-Williams paint is thick because it uses more solids, which makes it easier to work with and will cover more surface area. Furthermore, most surfaces can be completely covered in one to two coats. Painting contractors aim to please because their reputation is on the line with every painting project.

Professional painters frequently utilize premium paints, such as Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, for their work. Sherwin-Williams is widely regarded as one of the top paint brands, providing a broad range of premium quality paints, including environmentally friendly options.

Some people seem to believe that the Sherwin-Williams paint at Lowe's is the same as at Sherwin-Williams stores. However, there are plenty of people (my colleague included) who have first-hand experience that proves otherwise.

No! Alabaster does not read yellow at all. What your eye sees is a soft, creamy white with a bit of warmth, so it isn't stark white or clinical (like the walls of a hospital or office). Some people may call it an off-white or cream color, but I would disagree with both of those labels.

Why is Sherwin-Williams Alabaster so popular? ›

Alabaster Light Reflective Value (LRV)

The higher the LRV number, the more reflective the color, making a space feel lighter and brighter. The LRV for Sherwin-Williams Alabaster is 82. This means it reflects a lot of light and it is a great color option to brighten up interior spaces.

KEEP IN BALANCE. Once you've chosen the appropriate color palette, practice keeping the look balanced. For this, remember the 60-30-10 rule for color. In any room, feature 60% of your main color; use the next color half as much as the main color; and finish the look with 10% of a color for small accents.

Use a color-matching tool like the Nix Mini 2 or Datacolor ColorReader EZ. Both use a small portable sensor in tandem with an app to identify the closest known paint color match for pretty much any object or surface in your home. Many paint companies and home improvement stores offer mobile apps to help match paint.
