We’d like to give a shout out to Daniel Macris of Green Wave Solutions (greenwaveforever.com), a eco-friendly contract painter in Atlanta, GA. He unintentionally brought our attention to “green paints”.
For a house paint to be considered green, it should be compliant with standards set by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System and/or The Master Painters Institute’s (MPI) Green Performance Standard. Both of these rating systems focus on the reduction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
There are a number of brands on the market today.
- Harmony by Sherwin-Williams
- EcoSpec by Benjamin-Moor
- Bioshield by Bioshield
- Safecoat by AFM
- Green Planets by Green Planet Paints

i find it to be really tight
Yours Sincerly
