Choosing the right door for your PAX wardrobe can be tricky, especially if you want to coordinate it with wall paint, flooring or other furniture.
IKEA has released NCS color codes and gloss levels for their PAX wardrobe doors. These are meant as guidelines to help with color matching, but keep in mind that they are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Colors may vary depending on paint brand, finish and lighting conditions. For the best results, IKEA recommends bringing the actual door front to a professional paint store for measurement.
Below you'll find the full list of PAX doors, their NCS codes and gloss levels.
