I’m an LSU alum living out of state and I want to paint an accent wall in my office LSU purple. Years ago Home Depot had a series of official colors through Glidden but that no longer exists (at least here in MN). I have the HEX, RGB, and Pantone, but they say they can’t enter any of that into their system. Any thoughts on ways to match that color to a paint brand? I don’t need much so I’m willing to pay a stupid up-charge. I found topics from the 2011 era when the Glidden series existed but nothing since so apologies if this is answered elsewhere.

call a lowes in the new orleans area, they all have it and should be able to give you the name and color number at least

Try MyPerfectColor.com. They can match the pantone code

Sherwin Williams or try a local paint store if any exist in your area. Also, Ace/TrueValue depending on the owner may offer assistance.

In case you needed to know, the LSU gold will be found on the yellow palette.

Thanks, but I tried showing them that and it’s from 2011 and no longer something they carry

I can't say that I would do the whole wall purple either.

Pro-tip: Get the LSU gold and a can of white, and make the purple uniform stripes down the middle of the wall.
I did this on a set of corn-hole boards I made. One is gold with the white and purple stripe, one is purple with the white and gold stripe. They look awesome!
