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!

    I’m loving the emerald – in fact, I picked it as my bridesmaid dress color before they declared it color of the year so I was thankfully right on trend! And I’ve since been seeing it everywhere– clothing and houseware— and loving it!

    “PANTONE ME”

    My favorite Pantone color was already color of the year! I have been in love with the color turquoise every since I was 5 years old! So I loved the fact that 2010’s color of the year was 15-5519 (Turquoise). Also 2010 just so happened to be the years I graduated from design school, 15-5519 is my perfect color match!

    PANTONE ME!!! After years of color, color, color, I am coming around to the idea of neutrals like wheat, oatmeal, and sand. I grew up in apts so I thought I would never like those colors again after being forced to live with them growing up. never say never!

    SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. I am SO excited about these! I used to have to take my Pantone book to the paint department and now, BAM! Step saved! (Also, fewer weird looks, so there’s a bonus.)

    Color of the year: still PMS 7413 but edging into 629 territory. (That’s orange into robin’s egg for those without color issues. :)
