Here, I've uploaded my travel photos to the Sherwin-Wiliams Chip It! tool and it automatically figured out the colors for me. You could also try the PaintSwatches app, ColorCapture Ben app, ColorSmart by Behr app or another paint matching digital tool.
Have you used your travel photos to inspire paint colors or created a custom paint? Do share below. Au revoir!

That's the aesthetic side of Paris. Why can't the common concept of what Paris looks like be as appealing? The previous owners of the house we bought last year tried to bring a little Paris to the house. Think muted yellows and Eiffel Tower wallpaper, as seen in our daughter's room makeover. Your Paris is much more attractive!
Chip It = the advertising scourge of all AT home tours if you're looking on a laptop screen without much vertical space. That alone made me dislike it from the first time I saw it. But also, not every photo is palette worthy, and if you are actually looking to match colors, chances are your photo is not going to be accurate enough to get the same color that was used on the walls (shadows, lighting colors, white balance, etc.). Seems like a clever, but useless, app for actual use.
Nifty idea here, but I think you missed the match on door number two. It skews more purple than that rook wood red. At least on my screen.
One thing to remember with those strong colors is Paris is the quality of light in Paris. It falls between Seattle and Vancouver in latitude.
