1. Paints proven to look better and last longer.
We spend a lot of time testing paints – both ours and our competitors'. Ours are formulated to offer superior performance. We have the tests and facts to prove it. What does this mean for you? For a flat finish you can wash, there's no better product than SUPREMA^® Interior Flat Paint. Got kids? SUPREMA^® Interior Velvet Paint holds up to repeated scrubbing. Painting redwood or cedar? EZ-PRIME^® Premium keeps tannin stains from bleeding through better than any other primer. All of these products have meaningful differences that make them better for your specific needs.

2. The perfect color every time.
Dunn-Edwards knows color is critical. That's why Perfect Palette^®, our designer-preferred color system, gives you 1,696 colors to express your vision. Because choosing the right colors is so important, Perfect Palette provides user-friendly color selection tools that make it easy to select the perfect color. And, to be absolutely sure, you can test your colors with our 8-oz. Perfect Palette^® Sampler™ paint samples. If you have a fabric, flooring or window treatment you want matched, we can do it, too. Dunn-Edwards has a reputation for having the best tinters in the business.

3. The #1 choice of professionals.
In an independent study, licensed painting contractors in Los Angeles, San Diego and Phoenix were asked what paint they would use on their own homes. The hands-down winner: Dunn-Edwards. In fact, more professionals choose Dunn-Edwards for their personal residences than all other brands combined.* The top reason: superior quality. In another independent study, we asked nearly 500 interior design professionals what color system they specify most. The pro's choice – by far – was Dunn-Edwards.** Designers love our Perfect Palette color system.

4. Paints made in the Southwest for the Southwest.
Like you, we live in the Southwest. It's extremely hot and dry. Paint can bake in the sun. So, can paint be specially formulated for this climate? Absolutely, but you have to do the research and development here. So, unlike paint companies headquartered in the Midwest, East Coast or even overseas, we built our R&D labs here. This is where we formulate and test our paints, year-round – in the environment you live in. That's how we ensure you're getting the best paint.

7. Better ingredients make better paint.
Titanium Dioxide (Ti02) is the primary hiding pigment in White paints. It is also one of the most expensive ingredients in the can. To reduce cost, many manufacturers lower the amount of Ti02 which reduces hide and then tone their whites to a light gray to recover the hide. These paints cannot achieve a nice brilliant white finish like Dunn-Edwards product can because we maintain higher Ti02 levels without toning. For added performance, especially in darker colors, we use more prime hiding pigment in our colorants. This higher concentration of pigment provides better hide, richer colors, and superior durability. And we use better performing acrylic resin systems in our paint formulas, which improves durability. Our highly skilled chemists use their expertise to create unique formulations that offer meaningful paint performance advantages that you can count on, can to can, batch to batch.

8. A first-class job demands first-class supplies.
Your finished job is only as good as the materials that go into the project. That's why Dunn-Edwards only sells supplies and equipment from the most trusted manufacturers. When you walk into our store, you're assured that every item performs to the highest standards under the toughest conditions. We stand behind every product so you're assured the best results possible.

9. greener by design™
All Dunn-Edwards paint products are green because they are formulated for maximum eco-efficiency. That means each product is made using the least amount of energy and material resources needed to meet performance requirements, while avoiding the use of potentially harmful ingredients. We were one of the first, and still one of the few, companies to voluntarily remove Ethylene Glycol (EG), a hazardous air pollutant, from our water-based paints. At Dunn-Edwards, we take great care to protect our customers while conserving the Earth's resources.
