What it does
What Glidden does
Glidden is a paint-planning app for people choosing colors for rooms or exterior projects. It lets you browse Glidden colors, save possible choices, preview colors in rooms and outdoor settings, and organize more than one painting project. It is aimed at homeowners and DIY painters who want to compare colors before buying paint.
Ways to choose a color
The app includes a guided color quiz that uses your preferences and lifestyle to suggest a palette. You can also upload a photo to find a closely matching Glidden paint color. These tools are useful when you are starting with a room, an object, or an image rather than a specific paint color.
- Browse and save Glidden paint colors.
- Use a quiz to narrow down palette options.
- Match a color from an uploaded photo.
- Preview colors in room and exterior visualizers.
Checking colors before painting
The room and exterior visualizers show how a selected color may look across a larger space. The app also lets users request physical 8-by-8-inch color swatches delivered to their home. That gives you a way to compare the color away from the phone screen and under the lighting of the space you plan to paint.
Who it suits
Glidden makes the most sense for someone already considering Glidden paint and needing help with color selection or project planning. It is less useful as a general paint comparison tool because its color library and matching tools are tied to the Glidden range.
The app is listed in House & Home and comes from The Pittsburgh Paints Co. It has a 3.88 rating from 418 reviews and 50,000+ installs.
