In our new series “Antique Paint Colors – Cozy Cottage Farmhouse Paint Color” we are taking our love and appreciation for antiques and vintage items in our home here on the farm, sharing the colors closest to those pieces to hopefully inspire your next space. While these are pulled and matched off antique pieces, I can see these colors playing a major role not only on furniture, but walls, trim, and cabinets. This week comes from a request to color match this cute little green apothecary we recently picked up while antiquing a few weeks ago. Its small stature and drawers galore (which I always love) fits perfectly in a small nook to help keep things tucked away and organized, while also paying homage to our love of vintage. This color has me initially thinking a mint green, but one you pull the colors, and we did it from three different spots, you see it does lean more green than mint.
Here are the closest established colors from the major paint brands we all use and love. Some designers rely heavily on the Pantone color library, so to start off the list here are the closest colors in Pantone FHI:
