Love the color of your SILGRANIT II® sink so much that you’ve been combing paint stores looking for the exact color for your kitchen? Well, the search ends now with BLANCO and House Beautiful’s 500+ Favorite Paint Colors App for iPad, available now in the iTunes App Store.  BLANCO is the exclusive sponsor of this new app, which is the ideal resource for finding the perfect color for both your kitchen and your home. BLANCO and House Beautiful, the go-to color authorities, bring the best of their color expertise together with this app.

Inside the app, BLANCO reveals the secrets behind coordinating countertops with beautiful sinks in a variety of colors and styles. Inspirational kitchen photography ignites ideas for design, color and more.

You can also find your favorite colors in a variety of ways by searching specific paint colors, viewing “Editors’ Picks” for a curated collection from the editors – or, by clicking on the Color Personality tool to find the hue that fits you best.  App users can save their favorites in “My Paint Box,” where up to four colors can be compared side-by-side.  Paint colors can also be viewed in full screen – a digital version of a paint swatch so users can hold it up and see how it looks before committing to painting the entire wall.

“Blanco’s intelligent and thoughtful collection of SILGRANIT® II shades makes us the leader in color, and in partnering with the experts at House Beautiful, this new app allows our customers, consumers and designers to expand their color palette and open their imaginations,” says Tim Maicher, Blanco’s Director of Marketing.

House Beautiful’s 500+ Favorite Paint Colors App is available for $4.99 from the iTunes App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore.

BLANCO has launched its 2010 advertising campaigns to run in Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Metropolis, Interior Design, Kitchen & Bath Design News and Better Homes & Gardens Special Interest Publications. These three new ad messages capture the essence of what consumers and designers are looking for today in sink designs. 1) Individual style. The ARCON™ sink is at once modern and traditional – a blend of soft arches and sophisticated straight lines that says I’m uniquely different – and I go where I want to go. 2) Individual color. Sinks don’t have to always be stainless. They can be warm, hot or cool too! Create your own look with the palette of six SILGRANIT® II sink colors that coordinate with today’s popular surfaces. 3) Buy more than just a sink. Everyone wants more. More quality. More style. More options. When what you want is more sculpture than a bowl to hold water.  When it takes 48 steps and 30 artisans to create one spectacular sink from a single sheet of stainless. Then that’s more than a sink. That’s a design statement. That’s BLANCO SteelArt®.

BLANCO's stunning ARCON is about individual style as captured in this new ad concept.
