Meet Clare: The First Black-Owned Paint Company
PARTNER BRAND SPOTLIGHT
In recognition of Black Philanthropy Month, WOC has chosen to amplify the incredible products and services of its partner brands, who have so generously allowed WOC members exclusive discounts. WOC has carefully curated its partners, who with the exception of publications, are all people or woman of color-owned businesses.
When we support economies of color, we are helping the philanthropic cycle thrive. Strong business = the possibility for raising and giving more funds to the causes that deserve them.

For the WOC community, our homes are our sacred spaces — often a place of comfort, for familial gatherings and a haven from the outside world, especially during this pandemic.
Sometimes, they need a little refresher to brighten up mood and feel new again. Enter Clare.
Clare is a paint company whose mission is to re-imagine the painting shopping experience with premium, non-toxic color palettes — curated by mood, supplies, how-to guides and an interactive color quiz to determine which color works best for your space.
“Going with the safe choice, you’re not going to be disappointed. But if you push yourself outside of that box and make a little bit more of a daring color choice, you’re going to love it so much more than if the room was just white or grey.”
Clare is founded by Nicole Gibbons, an interior designer and an expert in the field, who has been featured in numerous media outlets, including The Oprah Winfrey Network and HGTV.
Nicole began her career in fashion PR but her passion was interior design, a field where she can play with color and transform spaces, leading her to where she is today with Clare.
