{friday finds: choose your unique color story with new color collection from Benjamin Moore}

Benjamin Moore has created a new chapter in paint color technology with its most recent color collection, Color Stories. This collection includes eight color palettes that are comprised of a total of 240 colors, making for a truly unique, un-matched color offering.

Benjamin Moore

Unlike conventional paint formulas, the Color Stories palette includes more than the traditional combination of three pigments and does not use any tints of gray or black. Instead, five to seven pigments are incorporated per color. These colors have a greater clarity, purity and are richer than conventional colors because they are formulated with more pigments in very precise, exacting amounts.

{bogo: weather king II exterior paint}

Jay LaMotte and Peter Goldsmith hard at work.

Did you get your exterior painting projects finished this summer?

I’m still working on mine; I think we can all use the same excuse; the weather did not cooperate at all. It was too wet, for way too long, then too hot; but these past few weeks have been perfect painting weather.

I called the professionals after I noticed a couple spots starting to pop on the south side of my house. After checking out the house, only the south side needed a new coat of paint, as the rest of the house was still in good shape. (Yeah) The shakes on the house are sixty years old and we waited too long before we painted the last time, and we did not want to make the same mistake. Shame on us.

If you’ve got an exterior painting project you’ve been putting off all summer, now is the time to tackle it! Not only does the cooler weather make for perfect painting conditions, but a buy-one-get-one-free offer from Hirshfield’s doesn’t hurt either!
