Match of CertainTeed™ 31 Colonial White *

For direct touch up on factory-finished CertainTeed 31 Colonial White building material, choose an Original Material Match product when available. That is the option in this collection that includes a sheen match, which is important for touch up on siding and related factory-finished parts.

MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint for the selected color reference, but other product types are better suited to separate parts or broader repainting rather than direct touch up.

Not always. A match of CertainTeed 31 Colonial White is a factory color reference, but an installed surface can look different after sun exposure, weathering, chalking, or normal sheen change. Even when the color reference is correct, the repaired area may still read differently beside the aged surface.

If the siding is older or highly visible, an existing part or site-specific sample is often a safer reference than relying only on the nominal brand color.

For direct touch up on CertainTeed 31 Colonial White factory-finished building materials, use Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint and specialty products such as urethane or epoxy can still be color-matched options, but they are not the right choice for direct touch up in this collection.

If you are painting a replacement part, accessory, or other separate component, the format can be chosen based on the part and application, but the touch up rule stays the same: Original Material Match is the direct touch-up option.

A match of CertainTeed 31 Colonial White is a building-material color reference for CertainTeed siding, so it is useful when you need MyPerfectColor paint matched to a siding-related part or a nearby exterior component that should blend with that finish.

For a replacement trim piece, accessory, or other paintable exterior part, order the product format that fits the part itself. If the job is direct touch up on the factory-finished siding, choose Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match.

If the job is tight on approval, the siding is aged, or the repaired area will be highly visible, an existing part or factory sample is often the better reference than the nominal CertainTeed 31 Colonial White color record. That helps account for weathering, sheen change, texture, and batch variation.

Use the color reference when you need a standard match, but rely on a real part or sample when the installed finish needs to be matched as closely as possible.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the CertainTeed 31 Colonial White but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the CertainTeed 31 Colonial White is based on matching an official CertainTeed color sample. The color and sheen of your specific CertainTeed parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

MyPerfectColor has the original CertainTeed color samples. A sample of the CertainTeed 31 Colonial White you are looking for is in our library. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
