Today is International Color Day, and Santa Barbara Paint Depot is celebrating by sharing a super cute downloadable children’s book called, Carly Matches Colors: A Color Management Book for Kids.


Inspired by a team of professionals at Datacolor who shared stories of working at home with their kids, the book is written from the perspective of a little girl who learned about her mom’s job working with color and the importance of color to the world.


The book flows with rhyme, lessons, and adorable illustrations from the children of parents at Datacolor and is suitable for any age. To download this easy to read, short flip book, click here.


Santa Barbara Paint Depot is All About Color


If you’ve visited our showroom, you will see an abundance of colors in every shade. We work with colors every day, which is fairly similar to playing with a box of Crayola Markers or Crayons and getting paid to make pretty things come alive!


Our stock of Benjamin Moore® color samples allows you to take home a peek of what might make your home go from humble to bold or boring to bright with life! When you put the color samples in different areas of the home, you achieve different perspectives, which is exactly what Carly is demonstrating in the book, Carly Matches Colors: A Color Management Book for Kids.


Feel free to help yourself to the color samples or grab one of our Benjamin Moore® books for complete interior and exterior home ideas.


The Color Portfolio App with Integrated ColorReader Device


Last January, Benjamin Moore launched its newest color tool, the Benjamin Moore Color Portfolio™ app and integrated Benjamin Moore ColorReader device.


The device helps DIY, contractors, and designers more efficiently and effectively pick color samples. The innovative technology instills confidence and eliminates guesswork by providing users with the ability to see color results instantaneously through virtual fan decks, accurate photo and video visualizers and renderings. For more information about the Color Portfolio App and ColorReader device, see our blog, Who Says Coloring is Only for Kids.
