CAMBRIA AND BENJAMIN MOORE MAKE DESIGN EASY WITH<br />
COLOR COMBINATIONS<br />
New online design tool will help consumers plan countertop and paint color<br />
combinations without ever leaving home.<br />
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. (February 15, 2010) – Building on an alliance that was<br />
established last year, <strong>Cambria</strong>, the only American maker of quartz countertops,<br />
and Benjamin Moore Paints are launching a new online tool that helps<br />
consumers select coordinated countertop and paint color combinations to<br />
achieve a designer look. By visiting www.<strong>Cambria</strong>USA.com/Benjamin-Moore, a<br />
click of the mouse allows you to choose a <strong>Cambria</strong> countertop color and then find<br />
a compatible or accent paint color from a pre-selected palette of Benjamin Moore<br />
hues.<br />
“The concept for this system is to provide consumers with suggestions from<br />
trained color professionals,” said Peter Martin, <strong>Cambria</strong>’s Executive Vice<br />
President of Sales and Marketing. “This tool makes it easy to find the right paint<br />
to match your <strong>Cambria</strong> countertop and we couldn’t ask for a better partner on this<br />
project than Benjamin Moore, which has long been recognized as one of<br />
America’s leading color authorities.”<br />
Initially 16 new quartz colors, added to the <strong>Cambria</strong> collection in September<br />
2009, are featured in the program. Benjamin Moore’s color experts have<br />
suggested three color combinations in three shades for a total of nine options for<br />
each countertop. The companies will expand their coordinated color partnership<br />
to the entire 64 <strong>Cambria</strong> colors in the near future.
The online tool can also be accessed on Benjamin Moore’s website at<br />

About <strong>Cambria</strong><br />
<strong>Cambria</strong> is a privately held, family-owned company headquartered in Minnesota<br />
with a network of stone fabricator and installation partners throughout North<br />
America that share our commitment to quality, innovation and growth. <strong>Cambria</strong> is<br />
a stain resistant, nonporous natural quartz surface that is harder, stronger and<br />
easier to care for than other stone surfaces because it does not require sealing<br />
with chemical-based conditioners, polishers or wax.<br />
<strong>Cambria</strong> is committed to environmentally friendly business practices. As the only<br />
producer of natural quartz surfaces in the United States, <strong>Cambria</strong> has a lower<br />
carbon footprint than international quartz manufacturers that require greater<br />
transportation and carbon resources to access the U.S. market. <strong>Cambria</strong> is<br />
LEED certified and recycles and reuses 100 percent of the water used in<br />
production. Our quartz surfaces do not off-gas and contain zero formaldehyde or<br />
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Testing by Air Quality Sciences, Inc. (AQS),<br />
an International Organization for Standard (ISO), confirm that <strong>Cambria</strong> natural<br />
quartz surfaces have no harmful emissions of any type. With NSF International<br />
certified as safe for food preparation, and GREENGUARD for Children and<br />
Schools® and Indoor Air Quality Certified® certifications– there is no safer<br />
surface available to consumers.<br />
