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 seem to still be stuck on the gray and yellow bandwagon – always behind trend – but I have been trying hard to figure out how to bring in some emerald into my wardrobe and house.

    Yellow is my my color of the year! I love it so much that it is one of the colors for our wedding in just 2 1/2 weeks. If there are multiple color options for just about any item, and yellow is one of them, you can pretty much guarantee which one I will pick! It’s just so happy! And I even just got a yellow Kitchenaid mixer to brighten up my kitchen!

    My color of the year is creamy grey. I love the calmness and warmth that this color brings. It allows for modern and/or vintage inspired themes, it’s just a perfect starting point for any room!

    I am all about turquoise this year. I used to be red, then purple, now turquoise? I just painted the inside of my closet very close to the first Pantone bucket in the photo above over the weekend. My bedroom walls are gray, so it’s a fun pop of color! A few weeks ago I painted a buffet with annie sloan cream (but refinished the top with a red mahogany for contrast). The drawers, turquoise!

    PANTONE ME!! I work for a printer, so I’ve got a Pantone swatch book within arms reach at all times. My color of the year is probably a shade of gray or yellow — or the two paired together with some crisp white accents (I just bought my first ceramic animal – an owl from Targets garden center).

    This year is shaping up to a range of warm grays, with contrasting shades that range from palest greenish blue through dark royal purple, and a very slightly warmed white trim.

    I painted the kitchen walls peach and as luck would have it Emerald goes really well with peach, so I am going to recover the counter chairs with a fun emerald print and do the same fabric as curtains on the french doors we just installed!
