Over the years, several shades of red and green have proliferated on doors along Long Brick Row. In order to stabilize the colors, a palette was suggested by Nancy Pascale a new member of the ARC with training and professional experience in design and the use of paint both exterior and interior. To bring the red and green doors back into harmony, the ARC selected Benjamin Moore 121 Peale Green (green) and Benjamin Moore 1274 Warm Earth (red). New colors were also considered to coordinate with the traditional red and green: Sherwin Williams SW6076 Turkish Coffee (brown) and Benjamin Moore 1596 Nightfall (charcoal gray). Turkish Coffee was approved now and Nightfall deferred for later consideration.
For all trim Sherwin Williams SW7551 Greek Villa (white) was selected and a new gray, Sherwin Williams SW1552 River Reflections for hatches, porch floors and steps was added. All colors were chosen to coordinate with each other and the brick facade. The specific colors for the doors were chosen to be similar in reflective value so no particular door advances or retreats relative to the others along the row. Discussed and approved by the ARC at the regular March 2012 meeting, the palette was also approved by the Board at their regular March 2012 meeting.
Due to the difficulty of faithfully rendering color online, the ARC hopes to distribute paint chips of the palette to residents of Long Brick Row in the coming weeks. All comments are welcome.
