Fab Freebie: Olympic Color: a house log

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

Paint a smile on your faces people, because that is what we are giving away this week! Paint, that is, not smiles (though hopefully smiles sort of come along with getting a prize, right?). This week we are giving away a room full of paint from Olympic (that means 2 gallons of Olympic Premium Interior Paint and 1 gallon of primer) to THREE people. Woo hoo! We enjoy this stuff because now no matter what color you get mixed, it is still 100% VOC-free. Cannot beat that, right? And that is exactly why we used it in our bathroom remodel earlier this year. Plus, Olympic simply launched a new, free desktop application called ColorClix to assist inspire your ideal palette.

Once downloaded, the little ColorClix box invites you to click anywhere on your desktop – a photo, a video, an icon, whatever – and syncs that color with one in the Olympic catalog. Like if I hoped to build a room around the adorable picture of a snoozing chihuahua I’d simply have to click anywhere on his fur to get an Olympic paint color (apparently Burger’s eyebrow is “Stony Creek”). It also displays the rest of the colors on the virtual swatch as well as recommended complimentary colors.

The program also lets you save all of your inspiration colors in projects sorted by room and then you can use those saved projects to virtually paint rooms on Olympic.com. You know, if you truly hoped to go as far as to let your dog’s coloring determine the coloring of your walls.

So go have some lively playing with ColorClix and check out the rest of this week’s details:

• PRIZE: One room of paint from Olympic, including 2 gallons of Olympic Premium Interior Paint and 1 gallon of primer
• TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PAINT ME” and…
• BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about a photo, object, or other inspiration item that you’d enjoy to draw some paint palette inspiration from.
