Following that logic, the massive "Colors of America" circular display needed to be closer to the paints as well. These Fres~Coat sample pots had to be taken down and then replaced to facilitate the move.
While putting the paint sample jars back, the system of color names proved interesting. Under the heading, "Historic Colors", were the standard reliable names the summon up stable thoughts of founding fathers and mothers: Asher Benjamin
, Hawthorne Green
and Lady Banksia
. These shades welcome autumn back safely into your home and everyone admires them.Then we have the "Color Revolution" heading. These are the names that tickel and surprise. Under the subheading "Hipster" there's a vibrant orange called Coctail Hour
and a lush blue called Trust Fund Baby
that gives that tasteful, prosperous vibe. Under "Empty Nest" there's What Inheritance?
, a creamy cool butter shade and a peachy Breakfast in Bed
color that flatters everyone's complexion. "Bachelor's" subheading offers colors like Alpha Male
brown and The Ego Has Landed
red that are fun.For next summer(yeah, thinking that far ahead), the calm serenity of the "sancuary" colors is going to be my staycation inspiration. Nourish
will be good for the woodwork, as it's that perfect greeny-blue that whispers summer. Calm
is a basic white whit a hint of green that will make a great accent wall. Bask
, looking like a blush, will make a great powder room tint.This is the decade of purple, the industry's colorists crow. Until Refuge
and Harmony
appeared, there was serious doubt. But both these colors have a muted, peaceful hie that makes them seem karmatic.So as each season arrives, the Colors of America circular display is a good place to look for new ideas in Fres~Coat and sometimes a giggle as well.
