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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

    I have a regular meeting in a building that has a fountain out front. The tiles are the lightest, most ethereal celadon color, so desaturated it’s almost grey. It is the perfect color to watch water wash over. That’s my vote, time for less Skittle-ized colors!

    PANTONE ME! Picking a favorite color is sort of like picking a favorite song or TV show – I can narrow the list down to say 7 or 8, but pick just one?! For me, c’est impossible!!! Depending on my mood, the day and time, it could be cherry red, crisp white, or stormy grey. I also love UVA blue (read: midnight navy), Labrador black, blush pink, and mint chocolate-chip ice cream green. I lust for exotic teal, dahlia purple, and mustard orange. Which reminds me – I love gold (yes, gold is a color)! Color means something. It is more than just ‘a color.’ It creates a theme, tells a story, makes a room a home. It is about the intensity, depth, and light. Color is about how it makes me feel and, more importantly, how I want to feel. Is it any wonder that my TV has been sitting on top of a to-be-painted-as-soon-as-I-can-pick-a-color dresser for two years because I still can’t choose ‘the one’?! Right now I’m thinking coal black or thunderstorm gray, but don’t expect me to commit any time soon…
