New colors, larger samples, color help

Jul 14 2003  

You'll be wowed by color at the Color Solutions Center. Four large paint displays are well-lit and intelligently arranged to help you find not only the exact color you need, but a collection of professionally coordinated related colors and neutrals as well.

You'll find these paint collections featured in the Color Solutions Center.

Ralph Lauren Paint

The corner of the Color Solutions display is devoted to Ralph Lauren Paint, with nearly 500 colors. You'll find brochures and paint chips grouped by collection, including Greenhouse, Naturals, Sea and Sky, Thoroughbred, and Whitewash, which you can also preview online.

The Ralph Lauren website also offers instructions to print as well as online video how tos for their signature paint techniques that include Antique Leather, River Rock, Suede, Duchesse Satin, Denim, Linen, and Chambray. And you'll also be able to browse for wallpaper, fabrics, and home furnishings as well.

Glidden Paint

Glidden's Color View 2003 collection features 40 fashion-forward colors in eight color families: red, orange, yellow, green blue, violet, beige and grey. The colors are showcased in a brochure with "peel-and-stick" color chips so you can try out the chips and various color combinations to your walls, trim, ceilings, or furniture.

Glidden has expanded and reorganized their display of over 800 Glidden colors, divided into four collections, each evoking a particular mood and lifestyle. This approach can help consumers zero in on the color palettes that may best express their personality.

  • The Bright & Lively collection of 224 bold hues appeals to anyone who thrives on vivid color. Color names include: Lavender Twilight, Vintage Violet, and Mint Truffle.

  • Are you more of a Relaxed & Cozy person? The 168 soothing colors in this collection may be just right for you. Color names include: Corn Silk, Fairy Dust, and Summer Picnic.

  • Classic & Neutral offers 140 variations of white and neutrals, perfect for quiet rooms and minimalist lifestyles.

  • The Natural & Comforting palette was inspired by nature. Create your own restful home environment with colors from a collection of 336 paints with names like Twin Falls, Nantucket Mist, and Wild Honey.

Want to browse color ideas at home? Glidden also offers a Color@Home II CD-ROM (available for under $10 at Glidden retailers). Play with interactive software that lets you choose Glidden color combinations and see them in virtual rooms on your own computer screen. For budding designers and home decorating enthusiasts, try out the nifty feature that lets you import and colorize pictures of your own home interiors or exteriors.
