T'Mahk Too - Comments on When Did They Discontinue Camel Snot Brown?!?! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000826.html So today a painting job estimator dude came by. A very nice young man. Doing the College Pro Painters thing. He's a writing major at my alma mater. Which is not really my point here. So ... I looked in... en-gb Sat, 05 Apr 2008 13:16:40 -0500 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 11:27:36 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=4.21-en kim@andfam.net 180 By kelly I picked up some paint chips the other day in a very pale grey - their names were 'winter snowstorm' and 'grey blizzard'. And I thought to myself, why? why would anyone pick those names for the colors, because there is no way on earth I want to paint my house to look like snow, or dirty snow! And I wondered if there were any openings for paint-chip-namers. Because I would love that job. Do you have to be a poetry major to qualify for the job? I like the dark grey. I think I'd like it better one or two shades lighter. It's pretty the way it is too though. And great photoshopping! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000826.html#c315907 315907:826@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I picked up some paint chips the other day in a very pale grey - their names were 'winter snowstorm' and 'grey blizzard'.

My in-laws have a DARK brown house and lots of trees in front. We call it the "Stealth House". To find it, you aim for the spot in the street where it looks like there is no house. Electric Lime is awesome. I painted a set of trash picked chairs and table a similar color. They're on the front porch now and they make me so happy. It's that color! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000826.html#c315909 315909:826@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Yeah, I like Distance too. The dark gray.

]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2008 18:34:22 -0500 By karen I vote for Denim and second for Distance. I like the contrast between the darker color and the light trim. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000826.html#c315911 315911:826@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I vote for Denim and second for Distance.

]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2008 21:23:44 -0500 By Peggy I like Denim. I like how the gray makes the house stand out from all the brown and green, but it's less, um, organic? BTW, I have electric lime paint in my schoolroom (where the computer is.) It's pretty intense. When we first moved in I was SURE I'd have to paint over it. I love green and all (it's my favorite!) but this is INTENSE in an over-caffeinated way. But, I just covered most of it with maps, bookcases and completed work and now it's INTENSE in a messy way. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000826.html#c315912 315912:826@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I like Denim.

If it was a tinge bluer it'd be the color of my house... ; ) However, I much prefer the grey tints to the blue ones. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000826.html#c315920 315920:826@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I love the photoshopped grey!

]]> Thu, 10 Apr 2008 23:27:25 -0500 By Justin The Distance is nice. My preference is for Bracing Blue. The added benefit is during a clear blue sky, your house will be difficult to find. You will be living off the grid on nice, sunny days and Skynet will not know where to find you. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000826.html#c315921 315921:826@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ The Distance is nice.

What about slate grey, with accents of a brighter color on the shutters? http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000826.html#c315923 315923:826@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I like the slate grey.
