GREEN. Going to keep it green.
There's a lack of green houses in my hood.
Current
house
color:
Benjamin
Moore's
Kensington
Green (#710).
The block sitting on the window ledge is the actual color when the paint was new. I have a left over can of it in the basement from the previous owners who painted it this color. I'm not a big fan of Little Minty-Green Houses myself and I'm not sure which is uglier: the original shade or the faded shade.
The final three shades of green to choose from..
FINAL ANSWER!?
.
Just pick one all ready.
I like the two bottom ones, if the colors are true on my screen. Which did you go with?

I like the middle one.
ReplyDeleteI like the muted ones better but keep in mind they're going to fade even further. I think the top one will calm down a bit and therefore you'll have it longer. just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI would go with the bottom one, for the reasons Margaret mentioned. I think the top one is a little too olive-colored and will fade more to the yellow than green side.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I don't mean to contradict! We are smack dab in the midst of painting to sell, and I am inundated lately with palette talk! :)
PS You have good Blooog. Now, let me send you my foreign-language link! :)
ReplyDeleteKimberly, Eric had to eliminate the top one because of the prospective dominance of yellow. You both knew that! Are you acquaintances? You both have that same droll sense of humor! I am now going with the top of the bottom two because it has more blue in it: teal is a healing, calming color. I always wondered how they thought blog was pronounced if they're writing it with an extra o. Just sayin'! Margaret
ReplyDeleteYou're "Just Sayin'" was so well put! Thanks, Margaret. And, yes - Eric and I have been friends for years. Myst be 15 or more. We live in separate cities now, so the internet is our main source of entertainment, I mean communication! We email almost daily, keep up on each other's blog, and also get silly on Facebook sometimes.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am with you on the teal. Gorgeous color. We are getting ready to sell and move. We painted our stairwell and upstairs hallway a light teal - a very Art Nouveau kind of color (house was built in the 30s). The best part of the color? the name . . . Midsummer's Dream!
