Preview Any Paint Colour in 4 Steps

Upload your room photo

Take or upload a photo of the room you want to repaint. Any angle works — just make sure the walls are visible.

💡 Photos taken in natural daylight produce the most accurate colour previews. Dark or heavily artificial-lit rooms will still work but may show slightly different tones than in-person.

Choose your paint colour

Enter a hex code, choose from our curated colour palettes, or describe the shade you're considering. You can test multiple colours by generating multiple previews.

AI previews the colour

The AI applies your chosen colour to the walls while preserving the room's original lighting, shadows, and depth — for a photorealistic, accurate preview.

Compare and decide with confidence

Use the before/after slider to compare. Generate multiple colours to narrow down your choice — then buy with confidence.

Why Paint Colour Decisions
Go Wrong — and How to Avoid It

Paint colour selection is notoriously unreliable when done from chips and test pots. Chips are too small to represent how a colour reads across a full wall. Test pots change in colour depending on when you look at them, the weather, and the time of day. The furniture and flooring in your room influence how a colour reads against them — in ways that can't be predicted from a sample. The only reliable method is seeing the exact colour on your actual wall — which is exactly what Homai's paint visualizer provides.

💡

Photorealistic Colour Preview —
Not a Filter or Flat Overlay

The technical difference between a good colour preview and a bad one is how the tool handles the original photo's lighting. A flat colour overlay loses all the shadow variation and depth that makes the preview look believable. Homai's AI analyses the light map of the walls in your photo and applies the new colour respecting those lighting conditions — so you see the colour as it would actually appear: lighter near the window, slightly darker in the corner, with natural shadow variation across the surface.

Colour Previews

Your Actual Room

Try neutrals, bolds, and everything in between against your real walls — before committing to a single litre of paint.

Neutrals and Warm Whites
The Most-Regretted Colour Group

The neutral and warm white category — covering everything from pure whites to greiges, warm creams, and soft sands — is where the most paint regret happens. These colours look almost identical on chips and test pots but read very differently at scale on a wall. The warm undertones in Dulux Antique White USA look nothing like the cool undertones in Vivid White once you're standing in the room. Preview them both — same room, same photo — and make a decision based on what you actually see.

Bold and Dark Colours
Test Before You Commit

Dark greens, navies, deep charcoals, and terracotta — bold colours make a dramatic impact but are the most difficult to remove if you get them wrong. Repainting a dark colour requires multiple coats and significant cost. Before committing to any bold shade, preview it in your actual room to see whether the impact matches your expectations — and whether it works with your flooring, furniture, and natural light.
