It’s great to see so many of the companies that we know and love rolling out products that we can use with our children in or pets in the room without worrying about harmful odors or offgassing. It’s even better to find companies that were built on these principles from the start.
Because toxic gases can leak from paint for up to six years after application, there is much more to consider than whether you’ll have to open all your windows while painting. It can affect your indoor air quality long after the paint dries. Mythic Paint, available in a dizzying array of colors, is classified as a zero-VOC paint and also has zero toxins and zero carcinogens. This means that it won’t hurt you, or your children, or Fido, and it won’t release any gases or substances that will hurt the ozone layer.
For the discerning decorators out there, Mythic Paint comes in a 1,232-color palette, and they can and will mix any color from any competitor or from your imagination. All you have to do is ask. They also offer all sheens, from flat to high gloss, ceiling paint, interior drywall primer, and a unique interior/exterior multi-purpose primer.
Why It’s Green:
- Contains zero harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
- Contains zero toxins and zero carcinogens
Price: $38.99-59.99/gallon

The manufacturer of this product claims ‘legendary performance’ but has only been around for like 6 months. The writer of this piece should do a little research into these claims before giving them free advertising.
John Q, I appreciate your observation of the fact that the company has only been around for a short time. In fact, it is because of this that I make no claims about the performance of Mystic Paint. I stick to the facts. The purpose of this site is to present readers with eco-friendly options when decorating their homes. Mystic Paint may or may not offer “legendary performance,” but it is definitely eco-friendly and therefore one option for buyers to consider. Thanks for reader, and I welcome you to offer insightful observations again.
It is my understanding mythic paint contains titanium dioxide and kaolin, both carcinogens.
@Melissa Thanks for the additional information. I’d love to read more about it. Would you be so kind as to send me the source of this research? If this is true, it’s definitely something both I am my readers will want to know. Thanks!
