historic colour schemes.

So totally random every now and then I check comments to my comments on Flickr. And I noticed today that this photo of Daily Bungalow's came up with a new comment. It's a colour scheme from a 1916 Arts & Crafts kit catalog (yes, the whole idea of Arts & Crafts houses is that you would buy the kit and, well, build the house yourself).

And from that photo she's put up links to photos of houses gathered together in varying exterior color schemes. And mentions that you should have at least three colors for your palette. Check. And it turns out the green I randomly chose (albeit from the Benjamin Moore Historic Collection palette as I've mentioned in the past) is pretty close to the color at the bottom of the second (from left) column.

Hmm. Well, just saying. Seems I've chosen ... wisely.
