As sole licensee of Pantone Paints, the company offers a range of International color palettes including the Natural Color System, a 1,750 color palette developed by the Scandinavian Color Institute, and RAL, a color space system developed in 1927 by the Reichsausschuß für Lieferbedingungen und Gütesicherung" (State Commission for Delivery Terms and Quality Assurance). The RAL color system has over 1,900 colors.

When founded in 1987 most of the company's products were destined for application in the restoration of historic properties. Today the company's products are sold for commercial and residential application.

In 2013 John F Lahey followed his father and founder as president of the company.
