Yolanda: Can’t remember. I think it was called “extra white” or “ultimate white”. It’s pretty, uhhhh, white.

@Cali, how do you feel about sage? We are thinking of painting our exterior with sage as our main predominant color……our house is in a wooded environment, and we don’t want it to stand out too much.

You’ve been watching too much HGTV! I can tell because they can’t seem to paint anything without painting it either florescent green or pea soup green. Honestly, I don’t care if I ever see another green room the rest of my life. I’m so sick of green that I’m dead certain I will never paint anything green– evar!

In all fairness it isn’t HGTV’s fault, entirely. Much of my hatred of green rooms stems from being a child born into a 60s world in which all rooms were, by law it seemed, painted either burnt orange, harvest gold or, my most favorite of all (end/sarcasm) avocado green. Of course there was the thrilling option of all three colors in one room, AKA the real trifecta of 60s paint jobs. My grandmother had her kitchen remodeled in those same colors, TWICE!!! ::shudder::

At one point my mother decided she and my very handy step-father were going to redo their entire house themselves, room by room, to rid it of the Harvest Gold and Avocado Green scourge once and for all. When she and my step-dad got it all done a couple of years later they stood back to take a look and revel in their hard work and mastery of wood working, tiling, painting and wall papering, as well as all the amazing changes only to discover that the whole house was still Harvest Gold and Avocado Green! They had merely shuffled the colors around! Neither of them remodeled another thing for at least ten years.
