Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for UK paint colours: cross-brand ΔE matching, prices, palettes, room planners and trend data.

What you can do
  • Search and look up paint colours across UK brands and reference systems such as RAL Classic and BS 4800
  • Match colours across brands by CIEDE2000 ΔE, including from a hex value taken from a photo or palette
  • Compare prices and find visually equivalent, cheaper alternatives ranked by cost per square metre
  • Retrieve technical finish specifications and market trend or ranking data
  • Work with saved palettes and room-by-room paint planner projects
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to answer practical decorating questions: the closest colour in another brand, a cheaper equivalent, the retail match for a RAL or BS reference, or how much paint a room needs and what it costs.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint added by URL; no local package or API key. Sign-in happens through OAuth in the browser on first connect. A paid tier is needed for price data, planner projects and market data, and monthly call limits apply.
Before you install
Paid tiers are required for prices, planners and trends, and calls are metered per month. Hex values are sRGB approximations of physical paint, prices are indicative, and trend data is a relative interest index rather than sales data. The service is not affiliated with any paint manufacturer.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open All Paint Colours in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/uk.co.allpaintcolours%2Fmcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

All Paint Colours — API & MCP server

Programmatic access to every paint colour from every major UK manufacturer: 5,300+ colours from 14 retail brands, plus the RAL Classic and BS 4800 reference systems, with cross-brand colour matching (CIEDE2000), prices, technical finish specs, a room-by-room paint planner, and market trend data.

This repository is the public documentation for the API — the OpenAPI schema, the MCP tool catalogue, the planner project format, and worked examples. Issues and questions are welcome here.

What it answers

  • "What's the closest Dulux colour to Farrow & Ball Railings?"
  • "Same colour, but cheaper" — visually equivalent paints from other brands, ranked by £/m² saving (fairer than £/L, since coverage differs by brand)
  • "What paint matches this hex from a photo or a brand palette?"
  • "What's the retail equivalent of RAL 7016 / BS 4800 18 B 25?"
  • "My bedroom is 4m × 3.2m — how many tins, which primer, what's the cost?"
  • "What's trending in greens this month, and who's changed prices?"

Notes on the data

Colour data is factual information gathered from public manufacturer sources. Hex values are sRGB approximations of physical paint — always check a sample pot before committing. Prices are indicative and change; coverage figures are the manufacturers' own. Trend data is a relative 0–100 interest index derived from site engagement, not industry sales.

All Paint Colours is not affiliated with or endorsed by any paint manufacturer; brand names identify their products.

Licence

The documentation in this repository is CC0. The colour data served by the API is subject to the terms at https://allpaintcolours.co.uk/developers/ — no bulk redistribution.
