Benjamin Moore introduces
tintable chalkboard paint
Benjamin Moore has introduced a new edition of its Chalkboard Paint that now is
tintable in any of the more than 3,300 hues
available in the Benjamin Moore color system, allowing for choices that go beyond
the classic black and green chalkboards.

1800s, has remained almost unchanged,”
said Sonu Mathew, ASID, IIDA and Ben-
jamin Moore’s senior interior designer.
“Now, the opportunity to enliven and in-
vigorate a space has exploded by dialing
up the color options so extensively.”

virtually any interior surface into a chalk-
board. It is easy to apply, dries in a matter
of hours to a durable eggshell finish, is
easy to clean and fully washable the com-
pany said. It also is formulated to mini-

for a child’s playroom, bedroom or even
the kitchen as a message center for shop-
ping lists and household reminders.
board paint is for walls only,” said
Mathew, who offered up a slew of other

is prime real estate for a coat of Benjamin
Moore Chalkboard Paint.”
