The Future: Eco Friendly Paint


What's the latest in paint technology? Eco-friendly paint. Benjamin Moore offers a line of paint called aura paint, using colorlock technology, a technology that bonds the pigment color microscopically to the paint film, allowing for low odor, fast dry time. In addition, this technology rises high above safety standards, with its incredibly low amounts of VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds). Benjamin Moore's Aura paint has no true competitor on the market, indicating its innovation in paint technology. Aura's promise to be green without compromising excellent color gives further proof to its unique place on the market. Benjamin Moore offers every one of their colors (3,500 of them!) plus most colors from other competing paint brands in the Aura line. It's a painter's dream come true.

View the Key Features of Benjamin Moore's Aura Paint, and you may never buy another brand again!

Any Suggestions?



As I mentioned in a previous post, I hope to continue writing in this blog, even after my class ends (about one more week!). As such, I would love to get insight from you! Yes, YOU! I want to know what you're interested in. What about color do you find fascinating? Would you like me to investigate further on a topic already posted? Please send your thoughts, questions, and suggestions my way!

The Future of My Blog


Of the future of Color in my World? I'm glad you've asked. Although I don't want to put myself in a forecasting box, I will say that the future of my blog is sunny. Although this adventure began as a school-driven initiative, I have developed a desire, school-work aside, to continue posting. So, I'm happy to announce that although my class is coming to a close shortly, Color in my World will not be. Not yet anyways. I still have some ideas rolling around in my head that I can't wait to share with you. Hopefully, I will be able to post at least once a week, and of course, you, my reader, will get an update if I change my mind. :) So, until my next post, have a sunny day!

Oh, and why the crazy colored cake? Just because! :)

AOL Video-Interior Design & Color

Remember our discussion about warm and cool colors? Well, this video gives more insight into the uses of different colors (often strategically choosing from the warm or cool colors) to create different moods, looks, and atmosphere in living spaces. In a nutshell, this video is a good starting point to learn how to use color in your own home!

Blip.tv- Color & Food

Just like I have discussed in a previous post, color and food have an unusual and distinct relationship. The color of food often triggers our brain to decide if food looks desirable or completely unappetizing. This video talks a little about the same idea: the link between food and its color.

Google Video- Colors & Holidays

I love painting Easter eggs in the spring time. This video talks about just that! It talks about how to use dye to paint and create color on Easter eggs. Enjoy!
