Paint & Decorating Mythic Paint Colour Theory: The palette at right is shown in (Left to Right): Rocky Mountain, Juleen & Safari Dress. Smoky neutrals are on-trend right now. We’re seeing it in both wardrobe and interiors. Pair these colours with natural wood tones, such as barnboard and driftwood, natural materials like jute and wool, and accessorize with a mod, oversize floral print. Why We Like Mythic: It contains zero VOC’s and has zero carcinogens. This is a premium quality paint with a fabulous color palette. Mythic is easy to work with, has very little odor, and decent coverage. What to Watch for: Latex is less durable than traditional oil based stains, so if you are painting trim, windows & doors, cabinetry or furniture, you may want to top coat with a clear, non-toxic varnish, or, there are now natural oil based paints on the market. Our favourite is Safecoat Naturals in semi-gloss. Where to Find it Mythic: check mythicpaint.com for dealers

AFM Safecoat Colour Theory: The above right palette is shown in Mythic’s Golden Goddess, Mirrored Willow & Avignon. Gold & Gray has always been a classic combination. Here the palette is softened a little and complimented with a soft white – the overall feel is classic, sophisticated and a little romantic. We like a bold stripe in grey and white, or a modern geometric to finish it off.
