Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Color matching a paint from a can that's been sitting in your basement since 2015 sounds impossible until a Seattle paint store actually pulls it off. The paint stores in Seattle on this page have logged nearly 350 Google reviews between them, and every one sits at 4.5 stars.

Short answer: Every one paint stores in Seattle here share the same 4.5 star average, so the deciding factor is brand and location rather than rating. Benjamin Moore - Mallory Paint Store has the most reviews (170) and a reputation for tracking down discontinued color formulas. If you need a specific national brand match, Sherwin-Williams is the widest-known name; for Pacific Northwest-formulated paint, Rodda-Miller Paint is the specialist.

How we score

Rating is each store’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a review, ranked against the others here. Confidence blends the two, since a strong score on a small sample carries less weight than the same score at real volume. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing them. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does paint cost in Seattle? (2026)

Pricing depends on brand, finish, and whether you need a color match against an existing sample. Premium regional and designer paint lines typically cost more per gallon than standard national brands, and color-matching services are usually free with purchase.

Serving Seattle neighborhoods

These stores are spread across Green Lake, Ravenna, and SoDo, covering most of Seattle without a long drive. If you’re searching for a paint store near me anywhere in the city, the ones here above are a good place to start.

What to ask before you buy paint

  • Can you match this color from a sample or an old paint can?
  • What finish is best for this room (kitchen, bathroom, exterior)?
  • Do you offer delivery or curbside pickup?
  • Is there a price-match policy against another store?
  • How many coats will I likely need for this color change?
  • Do you carry low-VOC or eco-friendly options?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these paint stores?

We pulled real Google Business Profile data for paint stores serving Seattle, then ranked by rating, review volume, and how recently customers are still reviewing them.

How often is this list updated?

We last verified this data in August 2026 and refresh it periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Can a paint store match any color, even from a different brand?

Most paint stores can scan or hand-match a color from almost any source, including old paint chips or a sample from another brand, though the exact formula will be in their own product line.

What’s the difference between a regional paint brand and a national one?

Regional brands are often formulated for local climate conditions, like Pacific Northwest humidity, while national brands offer more consistent availability across the country.

The bottom line

Benjamin Moore - Mallory Paint Store is the safest default, with the most reviews and a proven track record on tricky color matches. If you need a specific national brand, Sherwin-Williams is the obvious call, just confirm stock over the phone first.
