Paint samples

I'm not sure there's much point in posting these pictures, because the colors don't show up on the monitor the way they do when you're there. For the time being I'm not divulging our preferences, but of course anyone who knows me already knows which one I like!

Here's the yellow with a light yellow trim and medium green windows. It's on the front porch to the left of the door. This scheme would give us the most latitude to play with colors. We could introduce other colors on the trim and on the turned spindles and posts. I repainted the right half of this window so the ground is the lighter yellow and the trim is off-white.

It was too dark to take a picture, but the white doesn't really work and the lighter yellow still isn't pale enough. I'm going for creamy, barely yellow on the plaster. This one is around the back of the house, and the color on the left is closer to what I want.



This is the green (it's a very grey-green) with red windows. It's on the side of the house against the brick chimney.
