This must be 'nifty thing' week for me. I've found some really cool products that lend themselves well for supporting a green lifestyle. Here's one that is of particular interest to the designers and builders:YOLO Colorhouse has developed an exterior zero-VOC paint that also takes into account the natural lighting and shading over the course of a day. Here's a quote from the company's co-founder:
"Our process for developing the colors included tweaking them for full sunlight as well as shade. We experimented with each hue by applying them on all sides of a little outdoor structure, now called 'the Color Shed', and observed how the colors changed throughout the course of the day."
It's 100% acrylic, weather-resistant, and available in three sheens: velvet flat, satin, and semi-gloss. Price: Around $41.95 per gallon and $13.95 per quart. It's also Green Seal-certified.
Samples and swatches are available at their website, and they encourage you to reuse the samples in art projects and as wrapping paper. (Yay, reuse!)
Yolo also has a zero-voc primer available. Supersweet.
Weekend's coming... get painting!
