3. Where can I get a palette? OR How can I see the colors?
You may purchase a palette through your YOLO Colorhouse® dealer, or online. We offer several ways to see the palette.
The YOLO Colorhouse® palette can be viewed on the YOLO Colorhouse® website. The website representation is only an idea of what the colors are like. Colors vary quite a bit from monitor to monitor, the best way to view the color is through our sample system which lets you see the real color with real paint, the options are listed below.
It is best to view the YOLO Colorhouse® palette with our real paint samples. We offer three options:
The Design Kit: The kit includes all 40 colors on 8.5”x11” cards and 7 family cards – all painted with real paint. On the back of each card are notes about that particular color and companion color suggestions. This allows you to see the entire palette on a larger format.
Family cards: The family cards are small swipes of all of the colors in a particular family. There are 7 family groups, they are AIR, GRAIN, LEAF, WATER, STONE, CLAY and PETAL. These cards may be purchased individually or a complete packet of 7.
Poster-size color swatch: If you have a pretty good idea about what color you want, and want to see what that color is really going to look like in your space, the poster-size swatch with real paint is ideal. It's repositionable tape lets you move the large swatch around the room or house so you can see what the color is like in different light, or in different spaces.
4. Why do I have to pay for samples?
YOLO Colorhouse® has created a sample system using real paint, not ink. This allows you to see the real color that will go on your walls instead of a small ink sample that approximates the color. It also allows you to see the color without having to actually paint your wall, then you can move it around the room. All YOLO Colorhouse® samples are painted with real paint by real people in Portland, Oregon. The samples are created to reduce both the waste of the free ink chip and the quart can. We suggest that you re-use the samples as wrapping paper, art projects or share them with friends.
5. What makes your paint environmentally-friendly?
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are the solvents in most paints that evaporate and contribute to the depletion of the ozone. VOCs are also a part of the stinky odor in paint that is offensive and continues to off-gas which contributes to poor indoor air quality. YOLO Colorhouse® is formulated without the use of these solvents, as a result it is a 0 VOC and low odor, premium interior paint.
6. What is Green Seal® Certified?
Green Seal® is an independent non-profit setting standards for environmentally responsible products. Green Seal® certification is based on VOC content, the absence of chemicals (www.greenseal.org),
durability, performance and manufacturing practices. Green Seal® certification automatically qualifies YOLO Colorhouse® for LEED certified projects.
7. What sheens does YOLO come in?
Flat, Satin and Semi-gloss.
8. Do you have a primer?
Yes, and for a complete 0 VOC system, and to ensure the best results, use YOLO Colorhouse® Primer. To ensure maximum coverage, we suggest that you use YOLO Colorhouse®’s tinted primers, pink for PETAL.04 and PETAL .06, and gray for CLAY .05. Your YOLO Colorhouse® dealer will tint the correct color for your primer.
9. Can I get YOLO Colorhouse® in other colors?
Yes, if you can't find the color in our palette that is just right for your room, other colors may be mixed into YOLO Colorhouse® paint.
