Now, had she actually wanted to use Hermes boxes, you all know I wouldn't have been interested in the project. But who can argue with using such a cheerful color in a bookcase? Chelsey was hoping to find a suitable color from Benjamin Moore and being the paint nerd that I am and having a soft spot for Bostonians (having lived there myself for a while), I jumped at the chance to narrow down the options.
Chelsey had read that Racing Orange was a likely candidate. When I put the strip on which is appears next to an Hermes box, I didn't think it was quite right. I thought the colors above it, Orange Parrot and Oriole, were better matches.
I moved to a different part of the Color Preview deck and found another strip with a few contenders. Electric Orange looked like the winner in this picture.
What do you think? What's your favorite on the strips below?
oooh! electric orange for sure!

Electric orange, by these pictures. But I think I like Oriole the best!
ReplyDeleteAgain, thank you SO much for your help! I'm coming to you with all my color questions :)
ReplyDeleteI'm off work next week so hopefully there will be awesome results soon!
I would try a computer match at the paint store using the box.
ReplyDeleteThat's the catch, Anon. She doesn't have a box.
ReplyDeleteI think we found some good candidates here. :)
I wonder if there is a Pantone color for Hermes. We are painting the bathroom Tiffany Box Blue and found that there is a Pantone color for that although it's trademarked. But we were able to find a swatch and match it from that. Maybe there is one for Hermes?
ReplyDeleteElectric orange is the winner!
