Reprinted with permission by ABRAMS.If there’s one question that I get asked more than any other question it is about paint color! Sometimes choosing colors can be tricky and overwhelming, to say the least, especially if you aren’t familiar with paint or how to choose the best color and tone for your space which basically amounts to most people in the world. But whether you want to protect your home from the elements or the spirits, go with the blue that is the most pleasing to your eye.Įxcerpted from City Farmhouse Style: Designs for a Modern Country Life by Kim Leggett. Many regions have their own version of the spirit- deterring "authentic" Haint Blue-hues range from light to dark blue and include some with strong hints of green, depending on the place you call home. According to old-timers, haints believe the color blue is water, and since they cannot cross water, they are fooled into staying away. A haint is a spirit or ghost who has yet to move on to their final resting place. The good news is that blue is a perfect farmhouse color, too! And when you paint your porch ceiling with this cool color, it works double-duty to shoo away the haints (or so the legend goes). It is also ideal as a clean, uncluttered canvas for artwork, antiques, and gallery displays.Ĭhoose an organic tone (like Benjamin Moore’s Classic Gray) as a backdrop to highlight textures, including weathered wood and stone, and for kitchens with concrete countertops. The brightest of whites (like Valspar’s Ultra White) will do the job here. It looks like pure white without feeling cold.įor a room that is large and rustic, off-white (like Benjamin Moore’s Snowfall White) is a warm and inviting choice.īecause white amplifies light, it has a natural ability to maximize space, making a small room or home seem larger than it really is. Opt for a creamy white (like Valspar’s Dove White) instead.įor kitchens, ivory (like Benjamin Moore’s Ivory White) provides just the right warmth. Painting a room bright white and filling it with all-white furnishings and accessories can feel too sterile.
Likewise, if you have a room that gets little sunlight, a simple white paint (like Sherwin-Williams’s Pearly White or Benjamin Moore’s Simply White) will optimize the light.

If you have large windows and lots of strong light, tone down the brilliance with a gray white (like Valspar’s White Pepper).
