Krylon Harmony Seeks to Address the Limitations of Spray Paint

Krylon, a brand with over seven decades of experience in the spray paint industry, has introduced Krylon Harmony. This new water-based formula lineup is designed to overcome the traditional limitations that have historically constrained spray painting projects — from strong odors and flammability to difficult cleanup and the necessity of outdoor application.

Krylon Harmony features a low-odor, nonflammable composition that allows for indoor use when applied in well-ventilated areas. The lineup's reduced overspray and smooth, even coverage provide a more controlled and user-friendly experience. The easy soap-and-water cleanup simplifies the entire process from start to finish.

Krylon Harmony's formula also boasts strong adhesion across a diverse range of surfaces, including wood, metal, most plastics, glass, and masonry. The product is offered in 16 colors and achieved GREENGUARD Gold Certification for low chemical emissions.

Trend Themes

  1. Indoor Sprayability — Low-odor, nonflammable formulas expand spray painting into home, studio, and commercial interior settings where traditional aerosols were impractical.
  2. Water-based Finishes — Cleaner solvent alternatives create room for safer coatings that reduce emissions, simplify cleanup, and meet rising expectations for user-friendly DIY products.
  3. Certified Low-emission Products — Third-party health and sustainability credentials are becoming differentiators for paints and coatings as consumers scrutinize chemical exposure in indoor environments.

Industry Implications

  1. Paint and Coatings — Reformulated spray products point to growth in performance coatings that combine adhesion, color variety, and safer application characteristics.
  2. Home Improvement — DIY retail categories can benefit from accessible products that reduce mess, odor, and application barriers for casual home project users.
  3. Sustainable Materials — Demand for lower-emission, easier-cleaning chemical formulations supports innovation across consumer materials designed for healthier indoor use.
