When you’re talking about interior paint, one of the big catchphrases these days is “Zero VOC Paint.”
VOCs refers to Volatile Organic Compounds. Without going into a chemistry lesson, these things are not good for people or the environment, so removing them is a good thing.
The problem is that when you add tint to the paint to get a specific color, you put the VOCs right back in it.
There are companies that offer pre-tinted LOW VOC paints in a variety of colors. But remember, if you have the paint pro add anything to alter the color, you’re defeating the purpose.
A true Zero VOC paint will offer a powdered tint that you add yourself so you can choose from a wider variety of colors and still get the health benefits you want.
