Are you ready to start your painting project, but worried about making the right color choice?
We offer a beautiful selection of colors- and pallets, each unique in it’s hues and undertones.
We placed some of our favorite colors together, side by side, to help you see the difference between them, so you can chose the color right for you!
First the beloved blues:
Left to Right: Maritime Blue, Soldier Blue, Homestead Blue, and Midnight Blue.
Maritime Blue: A rich cerulean Blue
Soldier Blue: A bold, true Blue
Homestead Blue: A dark saturated Blue, with just a hint of green.
Midnight Blue: Our darkest Blue, appears almost black in certain lighting situations.
Our lighter Blues and Aquas:
Left to Right: Laurentien, Loyalist, Rideau, Quaker Blue
Laurentien: A soft robin’s egg blue with a hint of green.
Loyalist: This is a soft muted light green/blue mix.
Rideau Blue: This muted blue has a hint of grey.
Quaker Blue: This bold blue has a blend of green and dusty grey.
The lovely yellows:
Left to Right: Buttermilk, Ochre, Garden Seed, Mustard
Buttermilk Cream: A rich, creamy yellow. Goes well with any of the greens, reds, or blues.
Ochre: A Bold Warm Yellow
Garden Seed: A rich, Vibrant Yellow
Mustard: This harvest yellow is a little darker and slightly more muted than Garden Seed. Goes well with greens and reds.
The Greens:
Left to Right: Upper Canada, Gatineau, Acadia Pear, Bayberry
Upper Canada Green: This is the brightest of the greens. It has an granny smith apple vibrancy to it.

Acadia Pear: A muted, sage-green.
Bayberry: A deep rich, yellow-green.
The Whites:

Sturbridge White: Considered to be a “natural white” less stark than the whites found in lead and modern paint
Raw Silk: This is a warm white with a hint of grey.
Champlain : Absolute warm white. It is a neutral that matches just about anything, with a mix off cool and warm undertones of yellow and grey.
Limestone:This next to the white has a very slight hint of a warm yellow. Similar to natural limestone or chalk
Left to Right: Cathedral Taupe, Bedford, Algonquin, Cartier
Cathedral Taupe: A light taupe. This ageless neutral matches just about anything.
Bedford: This is a very light neutral grey with a hint of sage- green.
Algonquin:A warm, bold grey beige taupe, with light undertones of brown.
Cartier: A warm Sage-green
And two classics:
Coal Black, and Chocolate
Coal Black: This jet black is used to accentuate any color.
Chocolate: This dark sorrel brown has a touch of red. Goes nicely with reds, blues and greens.
