Miller Paint was founded by a young artist from Germany, Ernest Miller. In Portland in the late 1800s, there were no local paint manufacturers. Paint was made and shipped from the East Coast with constant delays and paint products not suited for the region’s rain. Drawing on his artist background, Ernest Miller began creating his own quality paints, using bright, durable colors crafted for the Pacific Northwest’s wet climate. Word began to spread and soon Portlanders were asking for “Ernest Miller’s Paint.” The company is now employee-owned; it operates 56 stores throughout Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
