Beginning this fall, Dutch Boy Paint will release its new line of Better Homes and Gardens "Editors' Choice Paint Colors" available exclusively at approximately 3,400 Walmart stores nationwide. The interior paint palette of 160 inviting hues reflects the classic yet contemporary aesthetic of the Better Homes and Gardens' paint and color experts.

Created to help simplify the selection process, each color will be showcased on an oversize three-and-a-half by five-inch color chip. Individual color family brochures will provide customers with editorial-quality photography and Better Homes and Gardens decorating and color ideas.

"Better Homes and Gardens Editor's Choice Paint Colors help streamline the decorating process by making color choices easier, allowing customers to achieve today's traditional style as featured in the pages of the magazine," said Better Homes and Gardens' Creative Director, Bradford Hong.

To provide an even more effortless shopping experience for customers, the Editors' Choice Paint Colors will also coordinate with a variety of existing Better Homes and Gardens products available at Walmart, including window treatments, bedding and bath products. Paint color recommendations can be found on corresponding product packaging to take the guesswork out of home decorating.
