VISUALISE YOUR
INTERIORS
When it’s time to make a change to your home, a new paint colour is one of the
easiest ways to make a bold difference. Let your creative side out! Crown paints
has more useful tips now than ever before. We have the Crown Colour App., Dial-A-
paint services and decorator services that will help you visualize your colours both
in-person and digitally.
Who has time to guess how the finished project is going to look like? The Crown
paints visualizer eliminates the guesswork and helps you bring your paint project to
life before you even pick up a brush. You simply need to visit theCrown showrooms,
upload a photo of your project and paint it with any of our colours or collections to
find the perfect palette for your home. It’s that easy!
The Crown Colour Visualizer features room and house photos that will help spark
your creative side and inspire you with the painting process. You can view our
slideshow of rooms and houses painted in coordinating colour palettes and be
motivated with new ways to use colour. It includes an in-store display designed to
make selection easier for consumers via a combination of digital and offline tools.
Customers standing in front of the Crown Visualizer can snap an image of a paint
card with their smartphone to virtually stimulate and paint a room set.
Take your colour ideas a step further by using the Colour Visualizer. Click a colour
then click a wall to preview your colours in your choice of room setting. Is it the
bathroom, living roomor kitchen?
Using tester paint pots and painting swatches on your walls has become a thing
of the past.
Crown paints Kenya Limited has embraced the technological possibilities of the
21st century by launching a new ipad, iphone andAndroid app that will let you see
what your rooms will look like in different paint colours and designed by virtually
repainting the walls. The Crown Colour visualizer allows users to select the area
of an image that should be virtually painted.
The app can detect the difference between wall
space, furniture and fixtures and paints around
contours in real time. All you have to do is choose
a colour and then press on the wall you want to
“virtually” paint. Users are able to pick any of the
1,200 Crown’s paint colours and for those looking
for a two tone effect; they can choose multiple paint
colours for multiple walls.
Where the app really excels is that it takes into
account the light in the frame and adjusts the colour
of the wall accordingly, so you can see what it will
look like in genuine ambient settings, rather than
just present a blanket slab of colour. On launch, once
you’vepickedyour colour scheme youcanonlyorder
tester pots to make sure of the real-world outcome
before you go all gung-ho.
With the help of the Crown paint calculator available
on our website, you are able to fire up the Crown’s
app, pick a colour through the room set simulator
system and have the right amount of paint you need
delivered to you the next day.
