Affinity

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I love this concept from Benjamin Moore!  Affinity Palette Exclusive is a new  and original color palette to Benjamin Moore’s high performance Aura Paint! It consists of 144 versatile hues that all harmoniously go together.  So if you love one color and need two more to coordinate…….pick two more from the color deck and an instant color palette is created!

I was sceptical at first so I did thumb through the color deck and found that the concept really worked.  I think this a great tool for the ‘confused on a perfect palette’.  Benjamin Moore offers a wide selection of neutrals. Below is the neutral color, French Press, from the Affinity Collection.  This chocolate brown hue is striking offsetting the cream silk draperies.

The Scott Family used the grouped Affinity Colors in their Westfield Home and shared the project on their website.  Click on each color and view the room.  Job well done!  Good taste paired with The Affinity Collection makes for a beautiful home!

Share Your Favorite Paint Color!

I am sure all of you have a favorite paint color and company you like to use.  The perfect shade and all the sample tries later need to be shared.

may vary from actual paint colors

I want to start off sharing my favorite color.  Palladian Blue from Benjamin Moore is my fav.  Currently the outside of my house is this color!  I have to admit, I was even scared when they put up the first coat, but nine years later I still love the decision.  The beauty of Palladian Blue is that it switches from blue to a soft green depending on the sunlight and person viewing the color.  I tell people, I am the blue house with yellow shutters and when they arrive, they tell me…….. “blue house, I see green”.
