History
Since 1925
A century of color, craft, and commitment.
Dunn-Edwards was founded in Los Angeles in 1925 by Frank H. Dunn and W.P. Edwards. From the very beginning, the company was built on a promise: deliver the highest-quality paint with uncompromising service to professionals and homeowners alike.
Over the decades, Dunn-Edwards grew from a single location in Southern California into one of the leading paint manufacturers in the American West, earning a reputation for innovation, durability, and an unmatched palette of colors.
