If 10,000 Chicago Biters paint their bedroom with low-VOC paint instead of the conventional stuff, we’ll keep about 650 bathtubs' worth of nasty chems out of circulation.

Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony hired a color therapist to paint their new nursery aquamarine and light blue - colors that supposedly boost intelligence.

True LoVo

The Bite

Oh, you never thought it would happen to you. So perfect. So real. So right. (Your new paint color, that is.) Now you can get all starry-eyed over Colori paint boutique, the only Chicago store that sells C2 Paint’s new LoVo line, a collection of nontoxic, low-VOC paints that are virtually odor-free. (VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, ruin our ozone and contribute to indoor pollutants.) Smaller-than-norm, 16-oz sampler cans and oversize 18-by-24-in poster-size paint chips (that avoid sampling altogether) mean less waste on the hunt for a perfect hue. Plus C2 Paints come in 496 colors - more than any other low-VOC paint brand - as well as custom options to help you find, you know…The One.

Wanna Try

Colori, 2243 W. North Ave. b/t Oakley and Bell Aves. (773-252-4923). C2 LoVo Paint, $49-$52/gal.
