### `match_paint_color`

- The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find the closest real, purchasable paint colors across 13 major brands (Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, Valspar, PPG, Dunn-Edwards, and more) for any hex color, scored with the CIEDE2000 (Delta-E) perceptual color-difference standard. Use this to answer "what is the [brand] equivalent of [a paint color]", to cross-reference a paint color across brands, or to turn a hex/RGB value into named paint colors you can actually buy. Each result returns the brand, color name, color number, hex, a closeness label and availability (current, retired or discontinued). Data and method: PaintColorHQ (paintcolorhq.com).
```

## Claude Code permissions

  }
}
```
