Nailing the perfect paint color
Picking paint colors for your walls is tricky, even when the color is white, and inspiration can come from magazines, websites like Houzz and Pinterest, or your favorite sweater. Clark+Kensington OPI paint colors are based on OPI nail polish colors. That’s right. Nail polish. And here’s why.
“Choosing a paint color comes first then brand and women dominate when selecting colors,” says Dana Larsen, director at Ace Hardware, exclusive seller of Clark+Kensington paints. “So we paired with OPI, a company that’s expert in color and has a loyal following.” Ask any woman who has her nails done at a salon and she’ll tell you that while there are rows and rows of colors to choose from, she zeroes in on a few favorites. Otherwise it’s overwhelming—just like picking an interior paint color from stacks of paint chips.
Glamour by the gallon, that’s how Ace markets these colors. For $27 and up per gallon, there are dozens of OPI colors available in Clark+Kensington paints. Our tests of interior paints found that a brand’s flat, eggshell, and semigloss paints perform similarly overall, so we’ve combined the scores to make it easier for you to compare. Clark+Kensington Enamel paint was impressive overall and is a top pick. It’s about $32 a gallon.
