If you do a lot of home improvements, you might want to invest in a good
paint color chart. We get them from Sherwin Williams (Home Depot can
match their colors by number code on the computer). IIRC< they charge
about $10 for a paint chart, but sometime,s if you ask nicely, they'll
give them to you for free.

Don't any of the paint companies have a program out yet that let's you
design your paint layout on the computer?

You'll have to adjust your gamma, but that's easily enough done...

I've recently used one on Sherwin Williams site. Take some digital
photos, upload them, then re-color to your heart's content. It's
actually fun and helps those that are imagination-impaired (like me)
actually envision the "after".

My concern would be in calibration of all that - your camera plus your
monitor. With the physical color chart, you can see exactly what the
finished product will look like, no questions about calibration. Also,
Home Depot now does samples. We were repainting the living room and
couldn't decide on colors so I bought samples of several possibilities
and painted a good section of several walls. We ended up with the
darker choice, even though it was, on the chart, our least favorite
because we thought it would be too dark.

Agreed. It's not precise but when asking how would the white living room
look in battleship grey, it will present a reasonable likeness.
