Quick answer

The Full Metal and Color Sample Set gives you physical, powdercoated samples of every enamel color and metal finish in the Blueprint collection, so you can compare them in your own light before committing to a fixture.

Why physical samples beat screen photos

Screens vary in color temperature and calibration, so a finish that looks warm online can read cooler or darker on your wall. Physical samples remove that guesswork by showing the actual powdercoated surface under your room's lighting. The set includes 3-inch metal discs and 3-inch by 0.5-inch rods, giving you both a broad color patch and a slim profile to judge how a finish reads on a fixture edge. Because colors and textures can appear differently depending on your screen, the set is the most reliable reference before you buy.

When a sample set is worth it—and when it isn't

If you are choosing between two close finishes (say, a warm neutral and a cooler gray) or matching lighting to existing hardware, the set pays for itself by preventing a return. It is less useful if you have already seen the exact finish in person or are ordering a single fixture in a finish you know well. Also note that the set covers the Blueprint collection only; it won't help you match finishes from other manufacturers.

Sample set FAQ

What exactly is in the set?

The set contains powdercoated 3-inch metal discs and 3-inch by 0.5-inch metal rods representing all enamel colors and metal finishes in the Blueprint collection, including Moss, Verdant, Chestnut, and Umber.

How do I use the samples to choose a finish?

View the discs and rods in the room where the fixture will hang, at different times of day. Compare them against your wall color, cabinetry, and any metal hardware already in the space. The rods help you judge how a finish looks on a narrow edge, similar to a fixture arm. Check samples under both natural and artificial light before deciding.

Will the sample color match the final fixture exactly?

The samples are powdercoated in the same finishes as the fixtures, but slight variation can occur between production runs. Use the sample as a close reference, not a guaranteed exact match. If you need an exact match for a critical installation, contact the store before ordering.

Can I return the sample set?

Return eligibility depends on the store's policy for sample products. Check the return terms on the product page before ordering if you might need to send it back.

How many finishes are included?

The set includes every enamel color and metal finish in the Blueprint collection at the time of purchase, including the latest additions. Because the collection can grow, the exact count may change; the product page lists the current range.
