PITTSBURGH – The color choices for that wood staining project you’ve been planning are growing by the minute, thanks to Olympic.

With more than two dozen new colors added to its interior stain color palette, Olympic Interior Stains continues building its comprehensive range of possibilities when it comes to interior wood staining and finishing, which now includes more than 60 color options.

From traditional colors such as Red Mahogany, Golden Oak and American Cherry to custom colors such as Light Salmon, Sangria Red and Pearl Blue, Olympic provides more unique options and specialty colors to help consumers achieve the perfect result for any project.

Additionally, the recent introduction and nationwide availability of the gold-tinted Pearlessence™ coating adds a new luster of sophistication to all of Olympic’s premium interior stain options, expanding the range of possibilities even further for both the creative do-it-yourselfer and the dedicated professional.

“Gold has recently been tabbed as a trendy, ‘hot’ color, and the addition of Pearlessence™ as a topcoat to a wood-finishing project can give furniture or wood trim a unique, contemporary accent,” said Khristine Selelyo, marketing manager for Olympic Interior Stains. Pearlessence™ is an acrylic translucent finish that adds a soft sparkle or shimmering accent to stained and painted interior surfaces.

There are many variables at play when choosing a stain or finish, including lighting, which can affect the way a stained object looks. So, Olympic is making it easier for the apprehensive do-it-yourselfer with new self-help displays at Lowe’s stores nationwide. The display contains product guides along with stained and finished wood samples of Olympic’s numerous interior stains and finishes, which are available in convenient trial-size packages for just $0.36 each. From oil-based wood stains to specialty topcoats and polyurethanes, customers can see first hand what they are buying.

“We know our customers want to make sure a certain stain will deliver the perfect look for their project,” said Selelyo. “So, we’ve taken the guesswork out of the equation by developing easy-to-use trial size packets. Now, consumers can try a color before making a commitment and judge for themselves. These trial sizes packets are an inexpensive way to put our stains to the test and find the perfect one for every job.”
