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.

  • 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…

    PANTONE ME!

    Wait a second, don’t we have to pick our mainstay color of the year and our accent color of the year? How could we possibly choose just one?! No? Okay fine. My ACCENT color of the year would be… buttercup yellow!

    I have been OBSESSED with mint green lately. I went shopping recently and I kid you not, walked away with a pair of shoes, pants, dress, necklace and earrings in that color (And yes, I promise not to wear them all together!)

    I’d say my color is coral – or maybe teal. I’m getting married this summer and those are our main colors – bright and colorful and festive! I think a few accent walls in coral would look amazing.

    My color of the moment is indigo — I’m all about my indigo purse, indigo clothing, and now I’m trying to work it into my master bedroom (along with terra cotta, soft gray, and pops of coral-y pink). It will be glorious!

    My family room is mostly in shades of blueish-gray with hints of true gray, teal, and tan/beige. I’d like to start adding in pops of yellow here and there in accessories and art work. We recently picked up wooden stools for a metal teal table which I’ve been thinking of paiting yellow.
