Custom Tobacco Road Paint Color - a click away!
YOU FOUND IT! Your very own sample with formula of my favoriteTobacco Road Paint Color is just a click away!
This is Tobacco Road based on the original Duron paint chip -- and according to my discerning eye. My color consultant eyeballs. This is my favored formula of Tobacco Road made available to the public.
Q. Why does it matter which formula is used?
A. Just asking for Tobacco Road can yield varying results -- even when using the same brand, grade, and sheen. An original paint chip or a specific formula and paint base information and/or a hand-painted swatch is the only way to know what you're going to get.

The Rocky Tobacco Road
Here's the scoop about Tobacco Road
The acquisition of Duron Paints by Sherwin Williams was completed in October, 2004. At about the same time, a golden toned neutral from the Duron Color Collection called Tobacco Road was just being discovered. Then, POOF! The acquisition was completed and original Tobacco Road chips from Duron were no longer available. Color quests to obtain the infamous Tobacco Road began.
Sherwin Williams acquired Duron the paint company and, of course, their color palette as well. The deal is that Sherwin Williams does not stock any of the old Duron paint chips but they can still mix the colors from the Duron palette. Sounds like a good plan but when it comes to Tobacco Road, it doesn't always work out. To make sure you're getting Tobacco Road, you need more than just the name and color number; you need a chip or formula and hand-painted swatch to go with.
How To Get Hand-Painted Samples
Samples and formulas of my favorite version of Tobacco Road are available.
CLICK SWATCHES TO ORDER SAMPLES AND FORMULAS FOR TOBACCO ROADTobacco Road is just as relevant today as it was a few years ago. To help you manage through the chaos of trying to get your hands on Tobacco Road, I recently added a page to the Color Strategies Tool Box Store. You will find samples and formulas of my favorite Tobacco Road plus 25% strength Tobacco Road and 50% strength Tobacco Road.
As a color consultant I've had Tobacco Road custom matched in various brands always using my expertise to ensure a pleasing "match" to the original Tobacco Road chips from Duron. You can buy a hand-painted sample with my favorite Tobacco Road formula right on the back -- it's everything you need to get Tobacco Road.
The hand-painted samples are Ben Moore's Regal Matte and formulas to go with are for a quart. Formulas can easily be multiplied up for a gallon or a five-gallon. Just take along your hand-painted sample with formula on the back to the paint store. Be sure to ask for a dried sample card of whatever they mix up so you can go to a window or outside and compare to the color disk you get from The Color Tool Box. Couldn't be easier.
