At Colori, environmentally friendly paint does not mean sacrificing quality nor color options.

In addition, Colori proudly carries Mythic® paint, which is a non-toxic, ultra low odor paint that provides the durability and coverage you expect from a premium paint without the toxins. Mythic provides and requires a Zero-VOC colorant system that maintains zero-VOCs and provides bright and beautiful colors. Mythic Paint comes in a 1,232-color palette in both interior and exterior finishes.

Colori can mix any color from any competitor or any imagination. Colori offers premium paint lines with competitive pricing. The Colori value is found in its limitless custom colors, exceptional coverage (test how much coverage you get with Colori paint versus big box paint), expert color advice, personalized service, earth friendly products & services, all wrapped up in a local Chicago business that is passionate and fun.
