What color is this shed???

RM_guy · Sep 27, 2006

My neighbor of 20 years has painted his shed and they say it’s blue-grey but my wife and I think it’s more lavender, leaning towards purple. They plan on painting their house the same color (it’s yellow now) and we really don’t want to live next door to Mr Pine’s Purple House :ohmy:

They are great neighbors and have asked several times how we like it because they don’t want to upset us but it still looks lavender to us. I think they thought it was going to be blue-grey but once the paint got laid down it didn’t even come out the way they had expected and they are trying to convince themselves it looks OK. :)

So, what color do you think it is???

It looks blue/grey to me. But I'm sorta colour blind towards black/blues, and purples/blues etc.

Man, that’s a tough call. I think you are right………..looks lavender to me. It does not look too bad though. Of course it is also tough to tell what an entire house will look like when painted to match the shed.

Looks light blue to me :coocoo: I think the trim and shingle color selection would be a bigger deal to as how the house is perseved.

Yea i agree, looks like a blue-gray. A little light.. But the real thing is this, at least they do up keep on the house and its not a pig pen.

trim looks a little lavenderish here, main paint looks light grayish blue.

RM_guy · Sep 27, 2006

Thanks guys. The picture doesn't quite do it justice. If you look where the sun is hitting it you can get a better feel for the true color. I took the picture this morning and the sun wasn't fully up yet.

BTW, they plan on painting the door maroon.

A maroon door.........where is the vomiting smilie when you need it?

XRpredator · Sep 27, 2006

I've seen worse colors to live next door to.

At least it's just paint. They will grow weary of it. Vinyl is final.

FruDaddy · Sep 27, 2006

As a child, I once had a neighbor paint her house pink. That blue-ish color isn't so bad.

muddy226 · Sep 27, 2006

That looks like what we might call "Lilac" with a touch of grey, the borders are def. blue.

Moparman1539 · Sep 27, 2006

ot looks light blue grayish, but in the sun it does look purple..

MrLuckey · Sep 27, 2006

Thats the color of ugly!

kmccune · Sep 27, 2006

Its some shade of blue that I'm sure my better half knows the name for :)

MXGirl230 · Sep 27, 2006

It looks baby blue to me with dark blue trim.

RYDMOTO · Sep 27, 2006

That would fit right in our one ethnic neighborhood in chicago......but i will be politcally correct here...and it's starts with a P. LOL

I think light blue with Smurf blue trim

Early morning light makes it a tough call, never mind my monitor, but it is leaning towards the blue end of the spectrum. Grey can be a very difficult color, because you can have cool or warm grey. As I said, the sun makes it difficult, as early morning light is really warm.

Go to a paint store and ask for a fan chart and try and match up the color in full sun. Ask the paint store what the mix is that makes it and you will get a far better idea of what you have there.

The trim is clearly blue, which is a cool color. Lavender is a warm color, so they don't go together, if that is what you really have.

If they are going for contrast instead of complementary colors, they blew it. If they were going for complementary colors instead of contrast, they blew it.

OK, they blew it ... :)

I walked over to talk to them last night and she was on her porch just starring at the shed, contemplating what to do. She asked someone else what they thought and they said it looked like Periwinkle (sp?) and was the same color as her bridesmaid's dresses. That sent a red flag up in my mind! ;)

They want the house to be a light bule but may end up painting the house the color of the shed trim. That wouldn't be too bad. I told her it's a good thing they had the shed to test out their color choices! At least they are willing to try different colors before painting the whole house.

According to the Sherwin Williams website the color looks to be #6520 Honest Blue.

That's pretty cool! It does look a bit like Honest Blue. She told me the color but I don't remember. I'll have to find out.

What color is this shed???
