iNSIDE THE TOM
PROMINENCE™ Interior Paint & Primer delivers a rich, lasting finish in colors like Burning Bush, Zombie, and Be Daring. This zero-VOC, 100% acrylic formula offers excellent hide and coverage with an ultra-smooth, resilient finish. Designed for high-traffic spaces, it’s highly stain- and scrub-resistant while providing a mildew-resistant coating for lasting performance.
"The Tom leans into depth and contrast—darker tones, richer hues, and bold surfaces. It’s grounded, masculine, and a little more dramatic. Think shadow, texture, and strength."
