Paint the Town

Still the fastest, easiest and least expensive way to renovate, paint stirs up
vibrant emotions this season.

Shades of Green
Eco-friendly paint is now widely available: GreenPaint’s Yolo Colourhouse is the only one to claim zero VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. Cloverdale’s Horizon series (shown) is low VOC and meets LEED standards for green construction. $50 to $54/gallon

Teacher Knows Best
Why have a blackboard when you can have an Oh La La Red-board? Tilano’s chalkboard paint comes in 10 fun colours. $120/gallon

Orange You Glad?
A warm shade with an orange undertone, such as C2’s Tortoise, adds depth to stark prairie light and offers the perfect foil to neutral shades. $65/gallon

Two Hues Are Better Than One
Benjamin Moore’s 2009 Unexpected Synergy palette creates
pairings of warm colours (Dried Mustard) with cool neutrals
(Hodley Red) for maximum wall harmony. $60/gallon

Hot Chocolate
Farrow & Ball’s Tanner’s Brown is dark and rich: try it next to hot pink or chartreuse for an even bolder impact. $73/gallon
