J. Marie Agency is thrilled to bring on board Philip Reno, a San Francisco-based revered colorist and paint expert. (www.philipsperfectcolors.com) His color collection, formulated over a decade’s work-”Philip’s Perfect Colors”- are full-spectrum, complex colors, now all available in C2 Paint’s low-VOC paint base, LoVo. 

A deeply experienced perspective is what Philip Reno brings to the world of color design. Philip spent the first eighteen years of his career as a master painter, faux finisher, and color consultant. During this time he accumulated first hand experience with paint and observed the intricacies of paint color.

“The medium of architectural paint is very complex, more demanding in certain respects than color printing or the dying of textiles. Nothing substitutes for depth of experience in honing a sense of how a color will react in any given room, or under varying lighting conditions.”

Philip’s succeeding years — since 1995 - have been spent in the retail side of the paint business. Operating San Francisco’s premier color boutique, G&R Paint Company, he has brought to market a palette of colors second to none in their complexity and sophistication.
