Names of paint colors is weird. Jon and I were picking a color to repaint our entryway and I have decided there should be rules when picking colors. At the moment I have it boiled down to two rules.
Rule # 1 Don’t use a paint color named after a food unless you are going to be eating in that room.
Rule #2 Nautical colors should be used in nautical locations only.
The thousand of colors to choose from os at best overwhelming. All of the paint names are upbeat or neutral at best. Does the name of the paint color describe who I am as a person? If so, perhaps I might recommend some of these names to be used for paint colors.
Dismal: This would most likely be a grey or a brown or some weird combo of both. It would be great to be used in horror movies.
Institutionalized: I think you can picture this color in your head. It is the color of a faded green, that feels like it is trying too hard to be cheerful and welcoming. This color would also be great to be used in horror movies.
Blood of the Enemies: This would be a dark reddish brown. Perhaps matte would look better than a glossy. This color would also be great to be used in horror movies.
Maybe there is a slight horror movie theme, but you have to admit it has a bit of charm to it. In fact I am sure that any one of an Emo or Goth nature would be thrilled to have a Dismal hallway, or a Blood of the Enemies bedroom.
What are your thoughts?
