Are We Full-Spectrum Paint?

Our colors are often assumed to be full-spectrum paint because they are highly saturated Northwest-inspired colors and they are stunningly rich. This is a result of the colorants we use, the light refraction from our wall finishes, and the high quality of the raw materials we pour into our paint. Think of our paint as a high thread count fabric: the better the paint, the better the color.
We are committed to have minimal metameric problems (color changing hues in different lighting and being unstable). Tinting our color to cover over 400 square feet without losing its trueness is no easy task.
As any artist will tell you, each of us has a unique approach to how we make colors achieve luminosity. I think full spectrum colors work well in certain applications. However, when full-spectrum paint is the largest background color in a home, and it’s paired with the non full-spectrum colors in rugs, sofa fabrics, wood surfaces, and tile, they can become unpredictable.
While our paint is not technically full spectrum paint, we achieve the rich, luminous quality of color with a low risk of the color misbehaving.
