Dark Green and Dark Blue: Colors of Louvers and Shutters

A set of dark painted surfaces for a plantation house. Dark green is a greyish olive green or deep forest green, dark blue is a deep blue close to indigo; they are used only in three places: louvered shutters, the main door, and parts of the balcony railing. The paint finish is semi-matte, with years of wear revealing the underlying wood color. These two colors form the only contrast with the whitewashed walls of the entire house. Both colors have low saturation. Avoid: using bright true green and true blue, using dark paint on large wall areas, making the paint finish brand new and smooth, using more than two dark colors simultaneously.

一組莊園的深色漆面。深綠是帶灰的橄欖綠或墨綠,深藍是接近靛青的暗藍;它們只用在三個地方:百葉護窗、大門與陽台欄杆的局部。漆面是半霧的,有經年的磨損露出底層的木色。這兩個顏色與刷白的牆形成整棟房子唯一的對比。彩度都不高。避免:使用鮮豔的正綠與正藍、把深色漆用在大面積的牆上、讓漆面做成全新光滑、同時使用超過兩種深色。
