Green paint
"I'm repainting the nursery, and I want to be as green as possible, including using low-VOC paint. Can you help me find some good ones?" - Cheryl, Boston
We can do you one better. There are now some zero-VOC paints (A little shaky on your green vernacular? Freshen up with our Green Glossary) now available in a wide range of colors.
Sherwin-Williams has the Harmony Interior Latex line, in three finishes and neutral colors. If you're going for something reserved for baby's room, this is a beautiful choice.
If you want a little more color variety, AFM Safecoat is one of our faves. The Zero VOC paint (originally designed for health-conscious places like schools, offices, and hospitals) also comes in three finishes. The exciting thing is that this paint is available in lots of shades (and the company even uses zero-VOC colorant!) The wall color pictured is Ayurveda Essence Colors zero-VOC paint in View.
Since you're an East Coaster, keep your eye on Green Depot. The Brooklyn-based Ivy Coatings should be launching soon, meaning zero-VOC paint can come to you without out cross-country shipping, making you even more green!
