Minwax Offers Limitless Looks with New Color Stains

New Water-Based Stains Bring Out Wood’s Natural Beauty in 200+ colors

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Minwax, America’s number one-selling* interior wood stain, today introduced its new Wood Finish Water-Based Color Stains, a line of water-based semi-transparent and new-to-the-world solid stains, offering the largest color assortment on the market with more than 200 color options. Wood Finish Water-Based Color Stains are for do-it-yourselfers who want to bring out the beauty of their wooden furniture and express their personal style with color. All products in the line are available now at Lowe’s stores nationwide.

Minwax Wood Finish Water-Based Color Solid Stains are the very first interior stain product to deliver beautiful, saturated color while staying true to wood’s texture.

For those who love the look of grain, but want a touch of color, the Water-Based Color Semi- Transparent Stains are the perfect option.

All products in the Minwax Wood Finish Water-Based Color Stains line are thicker than the brand’s previous water-based stain formulas, making it easier to use, while still providing one-coat coverage that dries in an hour. Wood Finish Water-Based Color Stains are ideal for DIYers who are short on time but want to transform ordinary wooden furniture or home accents into statement pieces.

“Minwax Wood Finish Water-Based Color Stains are ideal for those who want to bring out the natural beauty and protect wooden furniture while adding a pop of color to their home décor,” said Sue Kim, Minwax Senior Color Designer. “Our new quick-drying formula makes it easy for do-it-yourselfers to finish projects in a single day; the hard part will be choosing from the more than 200 color options.”
