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.

    I LOVE emerald (also my birthstone, coincidence?) and actually started getting really into it at the beginning of this year before I ever knew that the folks at Pantone had declared it color of the year. Go me for being ahead of the curve! (For once)

    My absolute favorite color is Emerald Green (I’m a May baby and a gemini), but I have been feeling the teal this year or (Ocean Depths). I’m still in the cool color family because that’s me.

    My color is definitely skylight for 2012. It was a year full of blessings and love and happiness, but moments that kept me grounded as well. Hence the not so bold but airy color of skylight.

    I love a nice dark blue with just a hint of aqua/green undertone to it. Or, a warm gray works too! Add some fresh greenery and crisp white trim to top it off.
