Paint Pot - A database of common paint codes and name.

Updateds!
- I just added support for Corona materials.
- I have just added the RAL colour codes, I am considering adding the Panton colours if there is interested.
Paint Pot is a really simple script intended to make it easier when dealing design schemes from architects and designers. It has a database of about 15000 thousand paints which can be looked up by name or paint code. When you selected a paint it will display a swatch and the RGB values. You can also hit the button and get a really simple V-Ray material or a standard material. To find the paint you are after select the brand from the dropdown box and start typing.
If you have other paint brands you would like added to it just let me know and I will do my best to get them in there.
Cheers,
Dave

I am happy to add any paint
I am happy to add any paint brand so long as I can find an index of the their paints, paint codes and RGB values. I have written a couple html scapers to get this data in the past or scripts to go through the data in a PDF etc. If you are able to post some links to specific "lists" of paints and paint codes I am happy to add them.
Cheers,
Dave

How to apply script to toolbar
Thanks Dave. All help is appreciated....
I have took the bold step of coverting completely from Vray to Corona cos the colour mapping is much better. Thing is, everything is Vray on the net which is a pain when you download models with Vray mats. I have to convert everything to Corona.
So any Corona support is most appreciated.
I spent a couple of hours last night trying to run the script. I have the script in "Daves tools" but when I apply to toolbar I get an error message..."Cannot find PaintPot". I am probably running the script wrong. This is a script I must have at hand.
I know you get lots of requests to add paint libraries... and you cannot please everyone... but, as a designer I find companies like Dulux give too much choice and their colours are too bold. I like to narrow it down to a few companies to give clients less choice so they can make selections easier. The ones I use are: Farrow & Ball, Paint Library and Kelly Hoppen Paints. These are popular with interior designers.
If you could add these it would be brillaint :)
Yes! Should not be too much
Yes! Should not be too much trouble.

Sherwin Williams Colors?
This is awesome! Any possibility of adding a Sherwin Williams list (one of the biggest in America)? Those are the #1 requested paint color references I get.
Help...
I don't know how to add the script to a toolbar. Is there a simplier way rather than how you explained it? I don't like doing anything out of the ordinary since I mess things up.
I am an interior designer and this could be useful.
I am also grateful you have added support for CORONA.
No worries. Glad I could
