". . .full spectrum paints react in subtle, yet very powerful ways to a discerning eye. Because it has a broader range of pigments in the blend, the paint reflects a broader range of light, and coordinates more easily with the colors around them. It is almost chameleon-like in its ability to pick up colors from adjacent materials, and to change character as the light changes. . .Because they don't have any black, the colors don't tend to turn muddy, or lose their character in low light conditions. Not only do these paint colors work well with the natural materials around them, they work well with each other, taking much of the fear of potentially bad color coordination away. For a novice, it's almost hard to make a mistake. . . The general reaction is WOW! . . . One contractor I work with refers to them as my 'magic paint colors', which always makes me smile." -From Architect Richard Morrison's article, "Color Magic" published in the Palo Alto Weekly.

Designer Palette . Designer Palette consists of some of the country's leading designers, architects and color consultants' favorite and/or most often used paint colors. Nature's Palette • Nature's Palette of Full Spectrum Paints is inspired by the earthy colors found in the flora and elements of the natural world. |
Ethereal Mists • Our Ethereal Mists Palette offers a lighter, softer range of atmospheric colors, inspired by nature's seas and skies. |
Coastal Colors • Our Coastal Colors were inspired by the Mediterranean, Carribean, Bahamian and Floridian coasts: Clear colors of the sea and festive colors found in seaside architecture. |
Magical Gems • Our Magical Gems were created to turn small areas into jewel boxes. Use these stunning colors inside closets, niches, bookcases and cabinets, or anywhere you want to add drama (and color therapy) or a punch of color. However, folks who really love color often use these gems on all four walls! |
| Exterior Palette • When it comes to exterior colors, it’s important to keep in mind your home’s surroundings. While all of our colors can be formulated into exterior paint products, we recommend exterior colors that create harmony with nature. We often use the more neutral shades on siding, the pale blues on porch and veranda ceilings. The reds are great for doors and other accents. |
Summer Brights • Our Summer Brights were created for artist Hunt Slonem's exhibition at The Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans (which was featured on CBS Sunday Morning). These vibrant colors were taken from Monet's Giverny, Greece's Mykonos Islands and the exotic rainforests. |
Barbara Jacobs' Eco Hues Palette • Artist, Color Consultant and Designer Barbara Jacobs created a special palette available in our VOC-free Lifemaster product line. These gorgeous, easy to live with colors were created to go with her line of rugs and new line of tiles. Inspired by the luminosity and depth of artist’s pigments, Barbara, a Boston-area colorist and artist, hand-mixed each color in her studio and then we mixed each color with a completely unique, full-spectrum formula in our Lifemaster product line (flat, eggshell & semi-gloss finishes). Barbara created each color with consideration of the palette as an integrated whole. And as luck (or her fine planning) would have it, her colors also coordinate with our colors!
