It is normally by Benjamin Moore but my painter had it custom mixed by Sherwin Williams the maker of my Duration white paint. They did a great job. The interior of my cottage is Lancaster Whitewash walls with Bennington Grey trim by BM. When I open my front door the color matches my interior paint perfectly even though the Exterior and Interior formulas are different. I gave my painter a piece of wood left over from my 2003 interior paint job.<br />Bennington Grey is a real chameleon color. In some light it looks beige, in others it has a touch of green, in others it is a "no-color" color. Outside in certain light it looks like a camel hair coat. This morning when I woke up the shutters outside my bedroom on the north side of the house looked like butterscotch pudding. As the paint cures, it will tone down. <br />As someone mentioned, it is uncommon but it looks great with my brick wall and chimney. Every other white house in my town has black or Essex Green shutters and I wanted something different. I have a grove of spruce trees along the road close to my cottage and I wanted something with a lighter palate so the green pollen in the spring wouldn't stand out so much. I have a black railing around my balcony in the back and that green stuff is embedded in the corners even after a super power washing. <br />End of story.Content in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-59089461036074911242013-10-04T08:30:01.159-04:002013-10-04T08:30:01.159-04:00Congratulations on engineering this whole project!...Congratulations on engineering this whole project!
