***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Paint a smile on your faces people, because that’s what we’re giving away this week! Paint, that is, not smiles (though hopefully smiles sort of come along with getting a prize, right?). This week we’re giving away a room full of paint from Olympic (that means 2 gallons of Olympic Premium Interior Paint and 1 gallon of primer) to THREE people. Woo hoo! We love this stuff because now no matter what color you get mixed, it’s still 100% VOC-free. Can’t beat that, right? And that’s exactly why we used it in our bathroom remodel earlier this year. Plus, Olympic just launched a new, free desktop application called ColorClix to help inspire your perfect palette.
Once downloaded, the little ColorClix box invites you to click anywhere on your desktop – a photo, a video, an icon, whatever – and syncs that color with one in the Olympic catalog. Like if I wanted to build a room around the adorable picture of a snoozing chihuahua I’d just have to click anywhere on his fur to get an Olympic paint color (apparently Burger’s eyebrow is “Stony Creek”). It also displays the rest of the colors on the virtual swatch as well as recommended complimentary colors.
The program also lets you save all of your inspiration colors in projects sorted by room and then you can use those saved projects to virtually paint rooms on Olympic.com. You know, if you really wanted to go as far as to let your dog’s coloring determine the coloring of your walls.
So go have some fun playing with ColorClix and check out the rest of this week’s details:
- PRIZE: One room of paint from Olympic, including 2 gallons of Olympic Premium Interior Paint and 1 gallon of primer
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PAINT ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about a photo, object, or other inspiration item that you’d love to draw some paint palette inspiration from. Did you photograph a stunning landscape recently that could lend itself to an accent wall color? Have you spotted a vase or pillow at the store that could inspire a whole room?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, September 8th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Three
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck…

We just bought a new house & I am in the process of trying to pick out the color palette for the interior & exterior of the house! All the rooms (including the siding of the house) are the same color! It’s very very vanilla I am looking forward to making it our own!
I draw inspiration from all over mostly from art and photographs,sometimes fabrics. This new colorclix feature Olympic has will come in very handy!
Thanks for another great giveaway!

I saw a comforter/duvet that I absolutely love the color of! It happens to be somewhere between Burger’s eyebrow and the grayish color you have on the right of the site! I’m calling it champagne gray.
Tiffany A. says
PAINT ME!!! My dining room/kitchen neeeeeeeds some help! Since we bought this house the colors have been driving me crazy. The color is kind of a pinky light brown sand color. It definitely clashes. I would love to take one of my honeymoon pictures of the beach and draw the color palette from it, then I would love to decorate and paint to draw out the colors from our special picture. I would blow up and frame the picture in the dining room to show where we got inspiration! I’m so excited, my fingers are crossed!
