It is overdo, but trying to pick colors is daunting. What are the “in” colors this year?” Thank you for your question! There is nothing like fresh paint to really spruce up your home for spring.

Whether applied roughly in a cave wall in the African plains hundreds of thousands of years ago, impressed for all eternity in an immortal fresco masterpiece in ancient Rome or Renaissance Florence, or used on a canvas in a modern Paris atelier, blue and its shades have always connected deeply with the human soul. The colour of the divine and the transcendent par-excellence, blue has always represented the link between the spiritual and the material, connecting the sky above us and the seas below us. Silent ruler of our planet, blue is the ultimate horizon, uniting land to waters, embracing both heaven and earth. Our own beautiful home itself is but a blue marble in the limitless ocean of the stars. Here on earth, blue intrigued for centuries both painters, scientists and common people alike since the dawn of Man, as this pigment is a most fascinating and elusive mystery on its own Katrin Fridriks in her studio right: omnipresent and pervasive in nature, it is intriguingly one of the rarest and hardest ones to come by in the world at the same time.

  • Paint Companies Announce Top Colors for 2017
    [MARKET UPDATE] By Michael Chamernik, Associate Editor PAINT TRENDS PAINT COMPANIES ANNOUNCE TOP COLORS FOR 2017 Consider this a primer for all the paint companies that named a Color of the Year for 2017. The hues ranged across the spec- trum, but soft, cool colors earned the most recognition. After a year of research, which included trade show visits and input from experts in home furnishing, ar- chitecture, and fashion, Benjamin Moore selected Shadow as its color of the year. The royal amethyst is similar to lilac, and the manufacturer says it adds energy and sophis- tication to a room. The color headlines Benjamin Moore’s Color Trends 2017 palette, which features 23 hues including Grandfather Clock Brown, Pink Bliss, and Dark Burgundy. “I think that Shadow does everything,” Lita Dirks, interior designer and president of Lita Dirks & Co., in Greenwood Village, Colo., told Professional Builder. “It’s a beautiful neutral, and it’s a beautiful accent at the same time. It can capture such amazing character and feeling in a room.” Poised Taupe from Sherwin-Williams is a neutral gray with a touch of brown mixed in. The result is a warmer, cozier tone, a departure from monochrome grays. The manufacturer recommends Poised Taupe as a backdrop that pairs well with 40 other colors in its 2017 Colormix forecast, including Stardew, a faded indigo; Marea Baja, a deep teal; or Rave Red, which has the appearance of red-stained bedrock. PPG and several of its brands all chose shades of violet for their Colors of the Year. PPG, which introduced four new palettes, opted for Violet Verbena.

  • CHAPTER 1 Introduction
    27 CHAPTER 1 Introduction The aim of this study is to investigate the well-known and widespread problem of severe paint loss from stained glass windows made by many firms in the mid- to late-nineteenth century. This problem results in the fading of painted detail from the surface of the glass, in the worst cases leaving pieces completely blank, as well as ‘ghosting’ of areas where the paint has been lost (Figures 1 and 2). It has become known as the ‘borax problem’,1 most likely due to a letter sent by William Morris to George Howard, around 1880, in which he writes: We (and I believe all other glass painters) were beguiled by an untrustworthy colour, having borax in it, some years ago, and the windows painted with this are going all over the country. Of course we have taken warning and our work will now be all right. We have given instructions to our man to take out the faulty glass, which we will – restore! – at once, and pay for that same ourselves – worst luck! Borax is the name of the culprit: the colour makers, finding that the glass- painters wanted a colour that would burn well at a lowish temperature, mixed borax with it to that end; but unluckily glass of borax is soluble in water, and hence the tears wept by our windows – and our purses. We use harder colour now, so that if any window of ours goes now it must be from other causes; bad burning or the like; I don’t think as things go that this is like to happen to us.2 As Morris suggests, many (although not all) stained glass firms of the period experienced the problem of paint loss.
