Who says a video projector needs to be a boring black?

Not Runco. The manufacturer of high-end projectors offers consumers a way to personalize their machines with licensed logos from your favorite NCAA collegiate sports program, a gallery of artist impression and the option to custom print your own artwork.

If you’d stick with a solid color—just not black—Runco’s FinishPalette service lets you pick from 25 different hand-finished paint colors, including metallics.

The custom printing service is available on Runco’s line of LightStyle projectors. Available are logos of more than 70 of the top NCAA programs, as well as exact color-matching for any college or pro-sports teams, including football, hockey, baseball, soccer and basketball.

Artwork for the projectors includes Asian-inspired designs, French-country shabby chic, whimsical floral patterns and architectural motifs.

FinishPalette is one of Runco’s three Design by Runco customization options. Others include ColourPalette, which offers 13 colors for projector and flat-panel frames, and FrameGallery, which allows custom framing of Runco Crystal Portfolio LCD flat-panel displays.

“With FinshPalette, we have expanded our customization offerings to a new level, allowing homeowner to choose essentially any design for their LightStyle projectors to ensure it matches their personality and passion, home’s décor and enhance the look of their theater,” says Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing for Runco.

FinishPalette customization typically takes between four and six weeks, and pricing varies depending on options chosen.
