YOLO Colorhouse is an independent paint company focused exclusively on producing high performing, zero-VOC, Green Seal approved finishes. Founded in 2005 by professional artists and custom paint designers, Virginia Young and Janie Lowe, YOLO Colorhouse is an expression of their passion for color and concern about the environment. Self-described “color nerds,” Young and Lowe set out to create a cleaner paint that is easy on the earth and people. In June 2009, YOLO Colorhouse became the first paint company in the U.S. to earn Green Seal's new, more stringent GS11-2008 certification, which verifies that all YOLO Colorhouse coatings are completely free of carcinogens, toxic solvents, formaldehyde, phthalates, odor masking chemicals, hazardous air pollutants and ozone depleting compounds.
