Eco-friendly paints put to the performance test

Kate Harris puts eco-friendly paints to the test on The Green Guide. The major benefit of eco-friendly paints is their low odor, due to reduced levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) ... A good thing for your health and for your nose.

Harris tested BioShield paints, which claim they are the "purest" paints on the market. Next up was the widely-available Sherwin-Williams Harmony line. AFM's Safecoat's Ayurveda Essence, which uses colors derived from the Arurveda healing system, came next.

Finally, Harris gave "milk paint" from The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co. a spin. Milk paint is made from, you guessed it, milk protein and comes in a powder form.

For her results, see Harris' article here.
