We are all about saving trees, but if you’d like to spread the good-n-green word by posting an Ideal Bite tip in a public place, we encourage you do so on recycled paper. Thanks and Happy Biting!

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.

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.
