# Get Brand Match

`GET /colour/match-paint/{hex_val}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.colourmemory.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.colourmemory.com/colour/match-paint/{hex_val}`
- Auth: none declared

Nearest paint colours from the brands in the paint data (Farrow & Ball,
Paint & Paper Library). A brand filter that matches no loaded brand used
to return an empty list with no explanation -- the tool's own argument
text names Little Greene, which the data does not contain -- so an agent
filled the gap with guessed colours. It now says the brand is absent and
lists the brands that are present; it never substitutes another brand.

- `hex_val` string, required
