Matthews Paint Company Introduces Metallic Architects Kit

PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wisconsin -- Matthews Paint Company has created a Metallic Architects Kit, a new color-matching tool for use by architects, designers and those who specify paint colors on architectural and environmental projects. According to the company, it is the only color tool in the industry that focuses solely on metallics.

The new kit is comprised of a 2-ring binder offering a wide selection of 276 metallic colors including pearls. Each color chip shows gloss and satin finishes as well as its Light Reflectance Value (LRV). For added convenience, chips are arranged by color family and any chip can be removed from the book and used for storyboards. Individual pages then can be re-ordered on an as-needed basis.

For information on obtaining the Metallic Architects Kit, contact your Matthews paint distributor.
