Gray Matter

"Genius and virtue are to be more often found clothed in gray than in peacock bright."
Van Wyck Brooks

Next, I began the color selection process. I bought several pint sized samples of the circled Kwal Paint colors and painted small sections of brick and siding on the house. The winner? 6874M Muddy River!

I've always liked painted brick which is very common in the south. Here are some images that have inspired my color selection:









I'm looking forward to our new, temporary exterior. Pictures coming soon!

  1. A commercial painter is a painter who has much experience working with business clients rather than residential ones. If you want to paint your commercial property then commercial painters are the best option for you. To hire the best commercial painter Covington then you can contact the Pelican Paint Group.
