And now, a brief history of house paint colors.
Once upon a time, people built houses. They built small houses with wood floors and walls and wood-framed windows, and when they were finished, they grabbed a bucket of white wash and painted everything—including the family windmill—white. Fast forward a few hundred years and people were still building houses, slightly bigger with indoor plumbing, carpet and vinyl windows, and using true paint instead of white wash, but it was still white.
Then, somewhere at sometime, someone got the idea to take a few drops of white and mix it with a drop of red, and pink was born: hot pink and petal pink, diamond pink and valentine pink; the combinations promised to be endless. Blue mixed with a few extra drops of white became slate and steel blue, sky blue and cerulean—great name, cerulean. All thanks to your old friend, white—and aren’t you glad. Now the house paint colors you choose for your home are only limited by your imagination. Check out new house paint colors at CertaPro.
Fun with color
Today, painting the interior of your house is more a form of visual artistry than the utilitarian function it was for your forefathers. Modern house paint colors are so intensely sharp and immediately personal, and since you are now free to mix colors to create your own palettes, who wouldn’t want to play? What you create not only drenches a room with color and beauty, but with emotion as well.
Take, for instance, the old stand by, the totally white room. It isn’t just white anymore. It’s alabaster and antique, buttermilk and bone. Pair it in a kitchen with a distressed white table, cerulean chairs and a touch of red for accent, and you have splendor and drama that just won’t quit. Crisp white trim painted around a deep shade of gray makes the walls recede and the white literally shout. For the chicest of looks, throw in a painted black door and enjoy the nods of respect from your friends and loved ones.
However you choose to mix your old friend white with house paint colors, remember you are only limited by your dreams and a sense of adventure. Be bold, mix and match to your heart’s content, and remember when it comes to designing your own paint colors, the possibilities are endless.
