Sounds colorful . . . What color exactly is “maple”?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Thanks for asking! Initial inspiration. House is similar, but porch is on the left side of the house and not so much with the 'fancy' dentil trim. My Painter (Foster Son, who is a Painter by trade) insisted on Sherwin-Williams paint, so I started with their 'Historic' color selections and went from there. House was built in 1900.

Ceiling on the porch is done in a 'Haint Blue.' Supposedly, the color blue keeps wasps from building there (so far, so good!) and is also a 'Southern Thang' that keeps the ghosts, spirits, 'Haints' away from your door. So far, so good on that, too! Doesn't make sense, but it really works with the other colors. You only see the color once you're right up to the porch. It makes me SMILE every day.
