Do you know how many colors of tan there are?
2,697,809,432,701
or something like that.
I want to repaint the livingroom.
It is currently a cheerful shade of yellow/gold … and it’s been irritating me. When I found myself in town on Monday, I stopped by the Sherwin-Williams store. I came home with these. Some have a green cast. Some have a pinkish cast. Some seem grayish.
It’s really rather ridiculous.
When such indecision occurs I tend to pick the top five and then — get this! —
I select by color name.
Which one appeals to me?
Which one reminds me of something?
Which one gives me a feeling of happy nostalgia?
It could be anything as long as it calls to me in some way.
So I think I’m going to go with this one.
It’s similar to my favorites. Not too dark, not too light. Neutral. Smack dab in the center of the greenish/pinkish/grayish tinted tans.
It’s called Twilight Gray.
And really, it’s the only choice.
I picked the color of my bathroom because it was “Blueberry Popover”, and I love blueberries…
The bedroom is “Peach Dip”, because I love peaches…
I picked the color of the kitchen because it was “Fioli Honey” and I love honey…
And everybody else thought it sounded like a stripper’s name.
You have to admit Mary Poppins you think it sounds like one too!
Twilight Grey sounds just “perfect”!
I love those names … and Fioli Honey sounds like one of the bimbos from the old James Bond movies! LOL Love it
