I think there’s an app for that

There seems to be an app for everything now.  Benjamin Moore created ben Color Capture.  This application allows users to match any color in a photograph to one of Benjamin Moore’s more than 3,300 paint colors.

This is great if you are out and about and see a color you like.  Snap a photo and tap a “match” key and see a display of the paints closest to the color desired, plus a range of darker and lighter shades on either side. These color “chips” can be saved to a favorites folder for future reference.  Best of all, it’s free!
