Abstract
Implementations of this disclosure provide processes and methods of ordering paint. In some implementations, a consumer uses a provided color sample to order paint. The color sample has a product identifier thereon used to identify a specific paint formula. The identified paint formula provides the proper proportion of ingredients required to make the color of paint used to color the color sample. This ensures that the consumer receives paint that matches the color sample used to place the order. Implementations of this disclosure allow consumers, for example through a web application, to order paint by using the product identifier of a color sample. After an order is placed, the formula associated with each specified product identifier is transmitted to an authorized retailer who then mixes the ordered paint.
