My childhood family home is being painted and it falls to me to choose the colours for the outhouses. The property is likely to be sold within the next few years so we're thinking of what will look smart and have mass appeal rather than personal taste.
I know sage green is everywhere and we could just do the doors and trim in this - but I would like the barns/cottages to have a little character because we love them. After much discussion, the family have agreed that 'Tuscan green' (which we fondly imagine as sagish green) would be a good colour for the trim and 'olive green' would be nice for the doors and window frames.
None of us have been to art school and two pots of tester paint later, I am no closer to achieving this goal. As you can see from the picture, the 'sage green' is too light and cold while the 'olive green' is a warmer colour but they simply do not match. I am at an impasse.
Farrow and Ball has a dizzying array of greens. I just need two that match and will look cheerful and tasteful yet warm. All suggestions appreciated. We have a lovely joiner in the family who will be making shutters as well at some stage and the doors will be restored somewhat.
Thank you!! I know for some people this is their talent and I appreciate you!
