After testing five different paint colors on the side of the River House, Jeanine and I have arrived at a final choice. It is a Sherwin Williams color named Peppercorn. We visited the site twice, once while the paint was in shadow and again when it was fully sunlit. It is a dark grey with no undertones, in other words, a true shade of grey. Of the final three candidates we both gravitated to this color. I went back and repainted all the test areas to match. All that remains to be done on the color front is to paint the trim boards surrounding the windows and rust-colored horizontal siding in a matte black. I will do so over the weekend.
