Product Information
Full details
The Dulux Colour Tester - Folk Tales is designed for homeowners and interior design enthusiasts who want to visualize potential wall colours before committing to a full painting project. By using actual Dulux paint in a convenient roller-integrated applicator, this tool provides an accurate representation of how a specific shade interacts with your room's unique lighting and decor, though users should note that the tester provides enough paint for sample patches rather than full coverage.

FAQs
How much area does one tester cover?
The 30ml tester is designed for testing small patches; it is not intended for painting large areas or furniture.
Can I refill the tester with other paint?
No, the Dulux Colour Tester is a single-use, sealed unit designed for convenience and should not be disassembled.
Do I need to prime the wall before using the tester?
While not strictly necessary for a quick test, applying the tester to a clean, light-coloured surface will yield the most accurate colour representation.
Is the paint inside the tester real wall paint?
Yes, it is genuine Dulux emulsion, ensuring the sample reflects the actual product you would buy in larger quantities.
How should I dispose of the empty tester?
Please check your local council guidelines for paint container recycling to ensure the plastic applicator is disposed of responsibly.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not flowing smoothly from the roller
Ensure you have removed any protective seals and apply firm, steady pressure against the wall to prime the roller mechanism.
The colour looks different on the wall than on the packaging
Paint colours are highly dependent on ambient light and wall texture. Allow the paint to dry completely—at least two hours—before judging the final shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Dulux Colour Tester, simply remove the cap and shake the unit gently to ensure the paint is mixed. Press the roller against the wall surface and apply light pressure to release the paint. After testing, replace the cap securely to prevent the remaining paint from drying out. Store the tester in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the formula. Ensure your wall is clean and free of dust before application to get the most accurate colour reflection.
