I like the system because I can duplicate colors using it.

As for Color of the Year, it’s like the Oscars.

It’s a marketing tool.

And I like what I like, not what soneone else tries to convince me I like.

My favorite home decor paint colors are from historic palettes.

I think I can safely say not one of those colors has ever been shortlisted for Color of the Year.

"My favorite home decor paint colors are from historic palettes."

Beau's Foster Son is a painter by trade. He painted our home for us a few years ago - it was a three year process. It was an eight year process for Beau and I to put on the metal roof!

I picked out colors from those approved by HOA for Historic buildings. Our house is from 1900. I love it. It was green, so I wanted to stay with a green.

Sheraton Sage - main body of the house

Renwick Heather - in the three gables

Birdseye Maple for the trim

Cerulean Skies for the ceiling on the porch (A blue porch ceiling keeps the 'Haints' out!)

That dead Cottonwood in the back yard is now gone!

Last project is replacing the decking on the porch and all the railings and posts with metal. We have all the parts bought, just haven't gotten to it yet other than ONE floor board replaced, LOL! So far it's a three year project, so for us we're on time and under budget! ;)
