In response to the emails I’ve been getting over the past few weeks, I went back and dug out that Sherwin Williams paint recommendation again. It was suggested to some folks we work with as an alternative to GTI Munsell N 8. This is most likely the color I’ll be using in all our new suites along the wall with the monitors as it’s a significant cost savings and we’ll be painting this in 9 suites along the front walls. Here’s the email recommendation again:
SW 7071 is the paint: I have found out that Sherwin Williams has two matte bases. For anyone that wants to go this route, the one to get is Duration Home, Extra White Matte Base, 6403-63925. The BAC code should be
BAC Colorant 02 32 64 128
B1-Black – 20 1 –
Y3-Deep Gold – 5 – 1
I might even run out today or tomorrow to paint a square of this around our reference monitors in advance of installing DaVinci Resolve this weekend for beta testing. If I do, I’ll let you know how it looks. At the very least I’ll be painting some of this in another month or so in the new facility and we’ll let you know how it looks.

Well I guess I never did another post to let you know how it all went. We loved the paint and it is on the front wall of every edit suite and color suite in the shop. It’s even in the screening room behind the projection screen. You can see it on the Facilities page in many of the photos. http://www.biscardicreative.com/who-we-are/facilities/
I highly recommend this as a great alternative to the “official” paint that is much more expensive. Even some of my colorist friends have switched to this paint.
