Valspar Shares New Colors, Green Innovations and Continuing Education at AIA

MINNEAPOLIS, May 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharing their passionate knowledge of color and expertise in architectural coatings, the Valspar Corporation's representatives will be exhibiting in booth #3621 at the annual American Institute of Architects (AIA) National Convention and Expo, May 19-21, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.

Valspar's team will host an in-booth happy hour on Thursday, May 19, 3-4 p.m., to toast the new colors of its Fluropon^® Effects Rustica coatings, the green innovation of Fluropon^® Pure architectural coatings, and to share information about several continuing education courses.

• Fluropon Effects Rustica coatings features richer, more saturated colors with a weathered, antique aesthetic, including some with a subtle color shift
• Fluropon Pure coatings help commercial building projects achieve the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED^® version 4 certification and adhere to the Living Building Challenge's Declare program, using the Living Building Challenge Red List as a guide for hazard reduction
