Color Wheel was established by Earl and Nellie Boswell, son Charles, and his wife Elisabeth. A tradesman in the paint and wall covering application business, Earl realized it was time to hang up the ladder and move to a safer occupation. Charles, a Fairfax County Police Officer, would also need additional retirement income.  


From a modest start, many long hours, determination, and a genuine interest in serving the community, our founders demonstrated extraordinary customer service that has transcended 46 years.  


Now owned and operated by the third generation, the company has grown to four times its original size in McLean, with a second location in Fairfax.  


Our dedicated employees—many of whom have served Color Wheel customers for one, two, and even three decades—are knowledgeable, trained specialists.  


Stop by and visit our hometown business and see for yourself why personalized service and premium products truly matter.  


Regards,

Charlie Boswell
