August 2006: In Living Color
A former contractor rolls out a high-end paint store that tips the scales of color brilliance. Colori is the place to go to paint your walls red—really red. Relax with a good cup of coffee while your paints are mixed at the color bar. A spectrophotometer can match any color from a bead to a brick. Corona natural ox bristle brushes ($9.26 to $46.99) guarantee the smoothest result per stroke. “If you’re not using the right brushes you won’t achieve a flawless finish,” says Herzog. “These paints give you the exact color you’re looking for, and they have great names,” says Herzog, who painted some of her store walls “Bang!”—a vivid red—and “Al Green.” The paints ($30 to $60 per gallon, $15 to $25 per quart) use 16 pigments for deepest dimension and coloration. One coat of primer ($39.99 a gallon), followed by two coats of color, and you’re done.
