I prefer the color scheme of the inlays on the DV-73.
Is that not barn red?
Ralph
Well, there is Rustic Red, Barn red, Rookwood red, Chinese red, Roycroft Cooper red, Crabby Apple, blah blah blah.
It's basically a barn red with brown undertones.
The reason I ask is, I just painted my shed this year and it looks identical in color and it was painted with Sherwin Williams.
Got a new shed in the yard, the hardest part was finding the right colors. The HOA said I had to try and match the house, but my brick is multicolored, and this was what I went with. I wasn't having a brown shed, that's fer sure. Of course I went through 6 samples before I picked these colors. Sherwin Williams rocks, but my idea of hell is a fan of 500 paint colors and trying to pick the right color.
Sherwin Williams Rustic Red and Roycroft Brass. I wasn't aware of the story behind Roycroft, but they have a line of craftsman colors that I liked, and Roycroft has some interesting history.

Not a fan of the living coral. Bleh.
So far, the HOA folks seem pretty reasonable. Keeps the neighborhood from going to seed.
Haven't got that impression.
We have. Usually totally self-serving. And too busy worrying about YOUR business than theirs. It's fairly typical. One (of many) reasons why our old house sold so quickly for top dollar. Every realtor asked, "Do you have an HOA?" Nope. "It'll sell fast." And it's true.... you put your money and power into a group of people that don't necessarily have your best interests at heart..... there may be good ones, but I haven't seen one yet. My new one seems okay so far, but... wait till the **** starts flying.....Haven't got that impression.
Al, in 1957 the top of the line was a Fairlane 500 and our neighbors had a two tone convertible in white and that semi pinkish beige!! It was BEAUTIFUL. Then my folks got a 57 Ford Station wagon in blue and white, which was nice but they toned down the fins on the lower end fords and the wagons. The fins didn't have quite the rake or the point as the Fairlane 500!! I'm with Sandy, there are applications for this color (I think Chrysler combined it with a darker green or something?) and as long as it's not on my walls, I'm good. We still haven't painted the new townhouse. So we have bold red, peach, green, and a kind of magenta lilac, not to mention blue and yellow. I'm not sure what drugs these people were on when they decorated but..... I kinda wanna try some. But not when i'm picking out paint, though..... JEEZE!!!
Earlier joking aside, it's interesting you picked up on that, here's what they had to say about the color:...I'm kinda likin' it myself.
By golly you're right. Got the model right but forgot that Fairlane "Crown Victorias" were '55-'56 only:Al, in 1957 the top of the line was a Fairlane 500 and our neighbors had a two tone convertible in white and that semi pinkish beige!! It was BEAUTIFUL.
Which leads us to a whole new category:I'm not sure what drugs these people were on when they decorated but..... I kinda wanna try some. But not when i'm picking out paint, though..... JEEZE!!!
Every color on this house is a Pantone Color of The Year:We have. Usually totally self-serving. And too busy worrying about YOUR business than theirs. It's fairly typical.

"The Mighty Chrysler":My dad bought a Chrysler in 1957 that was white (top) and pink with lots of chrome with white leather seats also a 2 door coupe
And not just GM:Very Fender. Very fifties GM. Very Christo.
I like it!
And back then you could even get tasteful 2-tone interiors:
Here we go!... my new favorite 60's color......
ride:
NO you didn't say or even write "Teal", besides which, that's not "Teal", that's "Daphne Blue" (also known as Pantone #921C, "Lagoon")And why are you showing me blue cars?... I said "TEAL" was my new favorite 60's color. And yes it's mine. (Restored 1964 MFG Westerfield Deluxe runabout) :tongue-new:
