Product Information

Full details

The Dulux Colour Tester is an essential tool for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to visualize new wall colors with precision before committing to a full purchase. Designed to mimic the application of a standard paint roller, these compact testers provide an accurate, mess-free representation of real Dulux paint shades on your actual wall surface. While they are highly effective for small-scale testing and color matching, users should note that the limited 30ml volume is strictly intended for sampling purposes rather than covering significant surface areas.

FAQs

How much area does one 30ml tester cover?

The 30ml tester is designed specifically for testing small patches; it is not intended to cover significant portions of a wall.

Is this real Dulux paint inside the tester?

Yes, every Dulux Colour Tester is filled with genuine Dulux paint to ensure the color and finish you see on your wall are exactly what you get when you buy the full-sized product.

Can I reuse the roller after I am done testing?

The roller is designed for the specific amount of paint provided. Once the paint is depleted, it is recommended to dispose of the unit.

Does the tester work on all wall types?

It is suitable for most interior wall surfaces, including plaster and previously painted walls, provided they are clean and dry.

Will the color look different once it dries?

As it contains real Dulux paint, the color will dry to the specific finish associated with that paint range, matching the color swatch provided by Dulux.

Troubleshooting

Paint not flowing evenly from the roller

Ensure the tester has been shaken well and apply slightly firmer pressure to the wall to initiate the flow.

Roller feels dry upon first use

Gently press the roller against a scrap piece of cardboard to prime the applicator and encourage the paint to move from the reservoir.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure your wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. Shake the tester well before removing the cap. Gently press the roller head against the wall and apply light pressure to dispense the paint, rolling it in short, controlled strokes. Once you have finished your sample, ensure the cap is replaced securely to keep the internal roller moist. If you plan to store the tester for future use, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The product is compatible with most standard interior wall surfaces, including plaster, lining paper, and previously painted surfaces.
