You know the green building movement has taken off when Home Depot starts selling no VOC paints. Fresh Aire Choice is the latest zero VOC paint to hit the market and it’s being sold exclusively through that orange big box store.
Now I don’t know my paint science, but the company claims that chemicals are put back into other paints once the color is added. Fresh Aire technology uses a pre-measured ColorFresh™ colorant pouch which dissolves into the paint base without expelling any chemical odor.
The paint comes in 65 colors and is Green Guard certified.

Dunno. Hopefully treehugger was not lying.. we found it to be much cheaper than benjamin moore eco-spec, plus personally i think it rolled better and turned out a lot nicer.
Olympic website lists it as Low Odor-Zero VOC formula
