Fab Freebie: Getting ‘Toned

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

And the lucky winner of some Pantone-tastic paint is… Gretchen (who’s really into “robin’s egg blue with a few pops of tangerine”). Congrats!

Y’all have heard of a little thing called Pantone, right? Well the folks who declared Emerald the color of the year have a slew of color experts who have also inspired a line of paint. And our bloggy friend/decorative painter Kristen clued us into MyColor inspired by Pantone – which is a series of project-sized paints for furniture, accessories, walls and beyond. In addition to the cool clear packaging, these quarts of eggshell paint (which are sold online and at Lowe’s) are ultra low VOC, stain blocking, and self priming. And one of you is gonna get EIGHT quarts in any of their 49 paint colors!

MyColorbyPantone Giveaway

  • PRIZE: Eight quarts of MyColor inspired by Pantone paints in any color (an $100 value)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PANTONE ME” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … if you had to declare a color of YOUR year, what would it be? Are you craving all things red lately (Sherry is)? Do all of your clothing purchases seem to be in the aqua family? Or are you right with the Pantone folks on emerald this year?
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to the United States.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 24th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

    PANTONE ME! We need some paint to touch up our living room and hallway after living in our apartment for almost six years — I am partial to greys and pale taupes but also love soft blues. And maybe our next apartment will be big enough that I can try a bold/dark color like the teal in your guest bedroom!

    If I had to pick my color of the year, it would definitely be mint. I have mint pants, mint shirts, mint scarves, mint accessories. If my husband let me I would have a mint bedroom. Instead I am revamping my new guest bath in shades of mint, aqua, and turquoise.

    If I had to pick a color for my year.. well I’d have to go with more than one.. Ivory, Moss Green, Blue, and Purple. These represent my wedding dress and the other colors of our July wedding. I feel like most of my life is being consumed by the planning process.. oh and we just bought our first house so I’d love to slap some paint on it’s seriously outdated walls!

    Love you guys!

    PANTONE ME! I’m delighted that “they” have dubbed emerald the color of the year… a good choice. My color preferences change by the week, too many good ones to just pick one for the whole year. So, for this week: an earthy chartreuse
