Hi Lettie,
I’m an interior designer and I’m currently looking for some sample paints from Boysen. I would like to ask where I can buy the colors below. I wasn’t able to find it on your website.
- Shell Tint BCP-0023
- Sugar Dust BCP-0011
- Luna Moon BCP-0017
Thank you!
Best regards,
Boysen User M

Hi Boysen User M,
There are two ways to get Boysen paint samples. The first is, as you know, the Boysen online store via the Boysen website. Available colors there, however, are limited. The second is through Boysen’s brick-and-mortar concept store called The Color Library!
Paint Samples at The Color Library
At The Color Library, you can browse more than 1,300 paint color swatches and have them mixed as paint that comes in 200 mL or 1 L containers. Depending on availability, these paint colors can come as Boysen Permacoat Latex in flat and semi-gloss finish, Boysen Healthy Home, and Virtuoso Silk Touch.
And, upon checking with The Color Library’s ever-helpful staff, all three colors on your list you are available for mixing at the store. You can indeed get these colors as 200 mL sample pots there.
Just so you know, a 200 mL container of paint can cover 1.25 to 1.50 square meters in one coat. That’s enough coverage to visualize colors in different lighting conditions and how they will respond with other elements in the space. If this isn’t enough, you can get a bigger 1 L sample mixed in-store.
The Color Library is located at 241-242 (SP) MOA Square Level 2, SM Mall of Asia Complex—just a few steps away from IKEA and SM MOA Department Store (view a map here). Just keep in mind that the store follows MOA Square’s mall hours. If you want to contact the store, call (02) 8742-1219.
Other Cool Finds at The Color Library
Paint Brushes and Rollers
Start painting as soon as you get home. Grab Fuyama brushes and rollers while you’re at The Color Library! Fuyama is Boysen’s own line of rollers and brushes. Japan-made, these premium painting tools are designed to give you excellent results and last you through multiple uses.
Paint Swatches
Paint swatches are also available at the store for you to purchase. These will come as fan decks. Fan decks are paint swatches collated together. Boysen has four of them: Boysen Color Palette (1,320 colors), Boysen Colorizer Series G (135 colors), Boysen Medley (250 colors), and Virtuoso Fan Deck (123 colors).
Brochures
Brochures are useful. They contain a lot of the essential info you would need to know about a Boysen product in order to work on your project. Brochures will typically include the product’s description and features, painting schedule, colors, and more. Ask the attendant what brochures they have on hand during your visit. Find other ways to view (and even download) Boysen brochures here.
Enjoy your samples and good luck with your project!
