Try taking a scrap piece of lumber and using it to paint test swatches to try out. Many paint mfgs. Have small sample sizes for just this purpose.

I’ll need to ask around and perhaps give it a shot!

Great assortment of color pics in the garden. From whimsical to sophisticated. I must say I have the hardest time selecting paint colors!! It’s just impossible to know what the color really is until I see in context. One change of hue or saturation seems to make it or break it in a certain setting. Any tips? Please?
Thanks, Gregory

Does UV stabilizer make any difference in the hot desert sun?

I wish paint lasted longer in our powerful sun…this reminds me it’s time to paint my purple wall this spring. The black background fence is incredible (absence of color in black draws out all the subtle colors around the pool?); those mint-green shutters = mmm!
