Personalized Paint Campaigns

Sherwin-Williams' Booths Read Auras & Suggest Custom Color Palettes

Picking a paint color for the walls of one's home is a decision that has the potential to help people express themselves and to do so in an easy way, Sherwin-Williams created a paint campaign based around auras. Auras are described as electromagnetic energy fields that encompass the body, with different colors reflecting various aspects of one's mood, physical health or other factors.

Auraed by Sherwin-Williams invites consumers to step into photobooths to capture their own aura with special photography tools. The colors that appear are unique to individuals and Sherwin-Williams complements the experience by sharing in-depth information about what the colors reveal, as well as a personal paint palette that can be used for any space.
