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…

    My year is definitely goldenrod. Or golden wheat. Depending on what lighting is at different times of day. I think MyColor calls it “solar power”!

    My daughter’s furniture is all white so we have been looking at some accent colors like blues and yellows to go in her room. Also my kitchen was red when we moved in but we’d love to do some grey accents in there as well. Would love to test out some new colors on all our projects.

    Pantone Me! I have been loving navy as my new neutral. I use it everywhere because it’s dark enough to stand alone and make a statement without being too stark of a contrast from black.

    Great giveaway!

    I’ve been using greys this year. I added grey curtains to our bedroom, my husband thought it wouldn’t work but I love it. It’s fun to find ways to use it while avoiding the institutional feel. I really want to do a bathroom in a stormy gray and crisp white with accents of blue and green sea glass.

    PANTONE ME! I’m trying to go the deep torquoise route with everything these days, but nothing is working out. I was desperate to find patio cushions in that color. Found them, then as I was checking out online, I got the dreaded “on backorder” warning. Ugh! So, I settled on navy because we need them for our son’s 1st birthday party this weekend!

    Pantone me! I am having trouble coming up with a color of the year, unless it is yellow- I just painted my kitchen sunshine yellow and our builders put a rising sun on our new back porch and painted it yellow to surprise me! It did! Makes me smile whenever I pull into the driveway!
