C. . ■ By OAUraUi >■' . , (Manager JenUas Hardwaire Co.)_ Here’s an Idea 'fiw yonr new' house paint color arrangement. Do yon wonder how It will look with the new colors? Why not take several snapshots, have them printed on a soft finish paper and try your color Ideas on the prints. Then, too, you may want to look at color conrolnatlons used on homes of similar architecture. It’s really worth while devoting a little time to perfecting a love ly color scheme. Yon will also want to consider bow yonr Idea will harmonize with your neigh bor’s house colors. Take advant age of the nearby colors to lend a more harmonious setting to your own color presentation. Certain color schemes are aseo- clated with styles of achltecture. Add to this the present mode or style of color and you have a foundation from which to plan. At present a survey shows the order of color popularity as fol lows: 61 ;per cent white; then ivory, cream, gray; light tan, buff, lemon yellow and pale green In that order. In 63 per cent of the homes no trim color was used. A wide variety of trim colors -made J up the balance. White and Ivory • account for 62 per cent of the. cash colors. The principal appli cation of gay color seems to pre- j dominate In shutters. Ofter when : no shutters are located on the I ground level, the sash is often! painted to match the upstairs j shutters. Doors, too, are often j painted to match the shutters. While we’re spewing of colors, let’s see what color will do to change the physical appearance of a house. Of course, your house will always look better with «' gleaming new coat of any well planned color. But suppose you want to make your house appear larger. Naturally you would use a light color—perhaps even white and without a trim color. Paint j right out to the corners with your! light body color so the eye Is not | confined within the areas outlin ed by any trim. However, If you want to make It appear smaller, use a dark "receding’’ color with an even darker trim for contrast to the ibody color. Now let’s consider how practi cal color is; If you happen to live in a smoky locality a darker col or Is advised to camouflage soot and smoke. Tau is an excellent color of wide practical latitude. White is always In good taste and it’s a little cooler in summer too, because it reflects the sun’s rays. The most -practical and saf est color for shutters is a careful ly selected fade proof green. Green is Nature’s predominant color and is usually quite pleasing in any surroundings. Gray is a color for houses located in indus trial sections. Warmer colors and deeper tones are pleasing where “gray’’ days of cold or cloudy weather are the rule. Tall narrow houses can be made to appear lower and wider by keeping the body light and the trim dark. Low, squatty houses can be made to appear much tall er ly painting all vertical lines In the trim color and the horizontal lines in the body color. Now is a good time to paint while the temperature is between 50 and 85 and the air is free from dust and there aren’t many insects. See your favorite paint dealer for color charts and sug gestions to simplify your paint problem.
