To market these high-quality paint products in a competitive retail environment, we are linked with a world-class marketing partner for the supply of top=quality point-of-sale marketing material in the form of fan decks, take-home colour chips, and colour cards on an attractive display stand for the retailer to allow the consumer to choose from.
This colour selection is known as the internationally recognised “Color Is” system, developed by the worldwide Color Guild (in association with Duha-Canada), of which Excelsior Paints is a member. The "Color Is" colour system comprises 1320 different colours to embrace all popular modern colour selections.
