(If your name happens to be "June Vision" or another colorific moniker, all the better.) The how-to instructions are sized for swatches from Home Depot, but they could be modified to work with whatever your last paint project spawned. ::designverb via Make

Funny this tip should appear today. I was just cleaning out my room earlier and found a bunch of things, including Behr color swatches I grabbed at Home Depot last year. Sounds like this one is worth a try!
