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.

    PANTONE ME!!

    I’d say gray is definitely my color this year. I used to think I couldn’t paint my walls gray because we have dark wood furniture. Now, I think it would look amazing and can’t stop daydreaming about moving into our first house soon and starting to decorate!

    And my color of the year – and even I can’t believe I’m saying this ’cause I’m SUCH a purple lover – my color of the year is lime green. I want to remove all the color from my home, paint everything white, buy a charcole gray KARL, and put pops of lime green everywhere. That thud you heard? My husband, fainting…

    The color of my year is probably a mauve-y, dusty rose color. I’ve been adding pops of it to my light blue/gray and neutral/beige colored bedroom. :)
    I hope I win!

    I would have to say it’s Pantone 28-1-3 C. It’s basically a hot pink, but I’m not sure what you would call it. Paired with white, green, purple and blue, it’s such a happy color!

    PANTONE me!! I’d have to hark AQUA as my COTY (Color of the year). I bravely painted 2 of our mismatched 6 kitchen chairs a smooth aqua and immediately fell in love. I think it is a shadow of the former country blue that had hold of me in the 80s and for which I no longer have the stomach. Aqua is just so cheery.
