Product Information
Full details
The V&CO Blue Shade 2 Peel & Stick Tester is for DIY decorators and homeowners looking to test paint colors without commitment. Its key benefit is providing a mess-free, accurate way to visualize a rich, dead-flat matt blue hue in your space before full application. A potential caveat is that it's a tester, so it's intended for color sampling, not large-scale coverage. This product features a curated palette of 45 saturated colors, a dead-flat matt finish, superior durability, and expert-selected contemporary chalky shades. The peel-and-stick format ensures easy application and removal.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the peel-and-stick tester?
The peel-and-stick tester allows you to accurately sample a paint color on your wall before committing to a full paint purchase. It provides a mess-free way to visualize the color in your home's lighting.
How large is the tester?
The product information does not specify the exact dimensions of the tester, but it is designed for color sampling, not full coverage.
Can I reuse the tester after removing it?
While the tester is designed for repositioning, repeated removal and reapplication may reduce its adhesive quality over time.
What kind of finish does the Blue Shade 2 color have?
The Blue Shade 2 color features a dead-flat matt finish, which offers a rich depth of color without shine or glare.
How many colors are available in the V&CO collection?
The V&CO collection offers a curated palette of 45 rich and saturated hues.
Is this product suitable for textured walls?
No, the peel-and-stick tester is best suited for smooth, non-porous interior surfaces and is not recommended for textured walls.
How do I clean the tester if it gets dirty?
If the tester becomes dusty, gently wipe it with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Tester will not adhere to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. The surface must be smooth; textured walls may prevent proper adhesion.
Difficulty removing the tester without residue
Gently heat the tester with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds. This can soften the adhesive, allowing for easier removal with less residue. If residue remains, use a mild adhesive remover suitable for painted surfaces.
Color appears different than expected
Color perception can be influenced by ambient light and surrounding colors. Try repositioning the tester to different areas of the wall or to adjacent walls to see how it appears under varying light conditions and next to existing decor.
