About Colour World

Colour World is a small, independent paint and coatings store based in Wexford, Ireland. The business specialises in decorative paints, varnishes, lacquers and related supplies, providing products suited to both domestic and light commercial projects. Customers typically visit Colour World for interior and exterior wall paints, wood finishes, protective coatings, and associated sundries such as brushes and rollers.

A charge from “Colour World” on a card statement is most likely associated with an in‑store purchase of paint, varnish, lacquer or decorating materials. This could be for a one‑off DIY project, ongoing renovation work, or supplies bought on behalf of a business or contractor. Because the merchant descriptor often shows only the trading name (e.g., “COLOUR WORLD”) without the words “paint” or “Wexford,” it may not be immediately obvious that the transaction relates to a paint shop.

To verify a charge, cardholders should first check any recent purchases of paint or decorating supplies and compare the transaction date and amount with receipts or invoices. If more detail is required, contacting the store directly by phone using publicly listed contact details and asking for a copy of the receipt associated with the date and amount of the transaction is advisable. If the store cannot identify the purchase or the cardholder suspects fraud, they should promptly contact their card issuer to dispute the charge or block the card if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Colour World sell?

Colour World primarily sells decorative paints, varnishes, lacquers and related decorating supplies. Typical purchases include interior and exterior wall paints, wood stains, protective coatings, and basic accessories needed for painting projects.

Why do I see a Colour World charge on my card when I don’t recognize the name?

The descriptor on your statement may show only “COLOUR WORLD” without mentioning paint or the town name, which can make it hard to recognize. Think back to any recent purchases of paint, varnish, or decorating supplies—especially from a small paint shop—around the transaction date and match the amount to your receipts.

Does Colour World offer accounts or recurring billing for tradespeople?

As a small paint retailer, Colour World may allow local tradespeople or businesses to run tab or charge accounts, with periodic settlement. If you are a contractor or business customer, a Colour World charge might represent the consolidated total of multiple paint or materials purchases billed together.

How can I get a receipt or invoice copy for a Colour World purchase?

To obtain a copy of a receipt or invoice, contact Colour World by phone using the number listed in online directories and provide the approximate date, time and amount of the transaction plus the last four digits of your card. They can usually look up the sale in their till system and reprint or email a copy.

Are small or odd amounts from Colour World normal?

Yes. Because Colour World sells paint and coatings that may be mixed or tinted to order, amounts can be highly specific (for example, charges for a single litre of custom‑mixed paint or a small tin of varnish). These non‑rounded totals are typical for hardware and paint purchases.

Can Colour World place authorization holds or pending charges on my card?

Most transactions at Colour World are standard point‑of‑sale purchases that post for the final amount immediately. However, like any merchant, their card terminal may briefly show a pending authorization before it finalizes. If a pending amount remains for several days or converts to a different total, contact both the store and your card issuer for clarification.

How do I resolve a dispute or suspected fraudulent charge from Colour World?

Start by confirming with anyone else who uses your card or business account that they did not make a purchase at a paint shop in Wexford. If no one recognizes the transaction, call Colour World with the transaction details to see if they can identify the sale. If it still appears unauthorized, immediately contact your card issuer to report suspected fraud and initiate a dispute.

Does Colour World sell online or only in store?

Based on publicly available information, Colour World is primarily an in‑store paint and coatings retailer in Wexford, and there is no widely advertised e‑commerce website. Most legitimate charges will therefore relate to purchases made physically at the shop rather than online orders.
