Love the Desperate Housewives? Have Their Color Palette Samples Mailed to Your Door For Free!

Since color selection is so difficult for so many I thought this information I stumbled upon to be very interesting and fun.
When my clients have the opportunity to actually see the color samples they are quite surprised.

If you have a fear selecting the wrong color for yourself, watch the TV program Desperate Housewives! Many of the colors appear to be soft and muted. This is because they are. Anytime you place a color sample against a white wall (or any white background) it is going to seem much more intense. Below is a list of each main characters home color palette. Next time you watch the program, see if you can spot them!

Benjamen Moore color palettes are used...we share the information with you!

"Color plays an important role in the show," says Tom Walsh Production Designer for ABC's Desperate Housewives. "We use Universal Studios. Colonial Street for our set on Wisteria Lane, and the houses are basically a Whitman's Sampler of Americana."Walsh says that another benefit to using Benjamin Moore Paints is their durability. "The set is kind of a machine, and it takes a beating over time so it has to be sturdy," explains Walsh. "We need sets that can withstand the wear and tear of the crews and their equipment. All the moving and shaking we need to do to the sets, we can do because we know the paint can withstand it."

Hope you have enjoyed this fun trivia! Remember... color is your friend! It is added to the paint for FREE!
