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…

    PANTONE ME… I’ve always gone towards aquas and teals and black. Lately, though, I’m appreciating more the appeal of grays and yellows and crisp whites (which compliment nicely my aquas and teals!).

    GREY! Specifically Pantone 431c. Used it in my recent wedding, our bedding and even our everyday dishes. Can accent it with some of the best colors too…to change it up!

    PANTONE ME!! Orange is my color of the year and has been for the past few years. It’s so happy and uplifting. Although, I’m currently painting a table in Emerald green with bright florescent green/yellow accents. It’s a beautiful combination!

    As boring as it sounds, I’m loving the grays. Layering all the different shades of grays in a room actually has quite a fun effect. (and no, this love of gray has no correlation to the similarly named book!)

    I’m grimly determined to make my color of the year blue. I’m an illustrator, but looking at my work you’d think blue was my poison and yellow-green was my antidote (even when I painted an aquarium!). So this year, I WILL use blue!

    PANTONE ME! Mine would definitely be blue. I went shopping for a summer wardrobe the other day and everything I bought was a different shade of blue. What can I say? I look good in it (and so does my house!).
