What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 10, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • match_hex_to_paint_colors

    Convert any HEX color code into the closest official Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Behr paint colors using scientific CIEDE2000 (ΔE00) color difference, LRV, and undertone classification.

  • find_cross_brand_paint_equivalent

    Find the closest cross-brand paint color equivalents (dupes) across Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Behr by paint name or code (e.g. "SW 7029", "Agreeable Gray", "OC-65", "Chantilly Lace").

  • calculate_ciede2000_swatch_distance

    Compute exact CIE L*a*b* coordinates, Light Reflectance Value (LRV), and perceptual CIEDE2000 (ΔE00) distance between any two HEX colors with commercial paint-matching tolerance grading.

  • analyze_paint_lrv_and_room_exposure

    Evaluate how a paint color LRV (0–100) behaves in North-facing, South-facing, East-facing, West-facing, or windowless rooms and HOA exterior LRV restrictions.

  • calculate_room_paint_gallons_estimator

    Calculate exact gallons and quarts of wall paint and primer needed after subtracting doors and windows at 350–400 sq ft per gallon.

  • recommend_paint_sheen_finish

    Recommend optimal paint sheen (Flat/Matte, Eggshell, Satin, Semi-Gloss, Cabinet Urethane Enamel) based on room humidity, traffic scrubbability, and drywall imperfection hiding.

  • simulate_kelvin_lighting_undertone_shift

    Predict how warm 2700K incandescent/LED, 3000K soft white, 3500K neutral, and 5000K daylight bulbs shift warm greige, green-gray, violet-gray, and creamy white undertones.

  • generate_coordinating_trim_and_accent_palette

    Generate designer-tested coordinating trim white, ceiling flat white, and contrasting accent colors matched to a main wall HEX or paint swatch.

Common questions

Is PaintColorMatcher — Scientific Paint Color & HEX CIEDE2000 Matcher safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed today, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
