Whatever your color inspiration, the ColorClix app for Windows Phone will help you easily identify and bring that shade to life for your next painting project. Windows Phone is the latest addition to the award-winning ColorClix suite of tools and is available for free download now from the Windows Phone Marketplace.

'In a café, a boardroom or the great outdoors – you never know when a flash of color will catch your eye,' said Jennifer Dodson, senior marketing manager, Olympic Paint and Stain. 'The new ColorClix app for Windows Phone creates the opportunity for users to quickly capture color inspiration while on the go and then translate it into colors for their home. With its innovative features and seamless integration with other ColorClix tools, such as the paint-a-room 'Visualizer,' the app provides an unrivaled color experience for users, anytime and anywhere.'

In addition to finding a match for an inspired color, a ColorClix app user also can find designer-approved coordinating colors. Users also can tag and save colors for future painting projects, edit and access saved projects whenever design inspiration hits, and share projects with friends through email, Twitter and Facebook. Once users find their perfect colors, they can match them to an Olympic Paint product by finding the nearest Lowe's location.

The ColorClix app for Windows Phone leverages a number of features new to the Windows Phone 7.5, including multitasking, Live Tiles, mobile search integration and data syncing, which allows users to edit mobile-created projects online and vice versa.

'The new ColorClix app for Windows Phone is a welcomed addition to the Windows Phone Marketplace,' said Todd Brix, senior director, Windows Phone Marketplace, Windows Phone Division, and Microsoft. 'With its unique features and design, the ColorClix app is a great example of the rich applications people will find on Windows Phone Marketplace to help them get the most out of their phone.'

The ColorClix suite is a cross-platform collection of color tools allowing consumers to discover new colors anytime, anywhere on a mobile phone, on a desktop computer or online. From initial color inspiration to final product selection and purchase, ColorClix tools digitize the paint-purchasing process from beginning to end.
