Vibrant Blue

Vibrant Blue

The paint colors in some places still retain their original luster, like in this day room.

Lead based paint is known for retaining it's color. Well, known for that and turning into chips.

Anyone have dip?

I remember in my ramblings in the the Great Smokey Mountains coming across some lichen that was very much this color. It is eerie how close in color the paint is. It looks like a whole room covered with the stuff!

according to my mental health prof, blues and greens are meant to be calming colors...I'm not feeling so calm right now...

not its not, because they have never, ever used lead on walls. only trim. same like these days, some of us "real" painters use oil on the trim and latex on the walls, they used lead trim, oil on walls. luster is a measurement on sheen retention, and saturation for color retention...OH!
i don't want to be known as one of those "know it alls"

i'm just a painter, i dont act like i know everything...only about paint lol

my bad, for the first comment. lead and oil based paints have a tendency to amber (or yellow) severly. latex has always had the best color retention
