PAINT & FINISHES: More color on Yolo Colorhouse zero VOC paints

May 13, 2008

yolo colorhouse zero voc GetWithGreen.com was able to connect up with Virginia Young of Yolo Colorhouse last month during an open house at Eco Home Improvement in Berkeley, CA. Virginia spoke a lot about the paint market, and differentiating Yolo from other vendors in the marketplace.

What do we like about Yolo? We like their background as a professional painters. Both Virginia and her business partner Janie Lowe got their start by actually painting. So what? This means that they have taken into account important elements such as making sure their paint covers well - a criticism of some eco-friendly no VOC paints. In addition, Yolo is one company that is doing more that branding a paint zero voc and “green”. They are incorporating as much into their daily business practices as possible… recycling practices, bio diesel trucks, and more.

Check out Yolo Paints for your remodel. If you don’t know what color would look good, Yolo offers 12″x24″ paper samples covered with paint for $5.99. Much nicer than those 1″x1″ squares you pick up at Home Depot. Much nicer than purchasing entire quarts, no likeing them, and letting them sit in your garage!

Lastly, GetWithGreen came across a nice little article on Star-Telegram.com. Author Jesse Milligan gives some background on the company and Janie Lowe: Paint it green: You can put her colors on your walls. Check it out!
