    Color schemes for 1906 houses
    Can anyone point me to a resource for paint schemes for a house built in 1906? I'm doing a remodel of an old house and when it comes time to paint it, I thought it'd be nice to paint it in an original paint scheme instead of a current paint scheme if I can find something appropriate. Any help would be appreciated.

    If you put homes 1906 in Google search under images,you will get quite a few hits.

    The only problem is I'm going to need some recommendations with actual current paints from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams or whomever because unfortunately, I'm color-blind. :-) I can see color, but when it comes to the shades and various hues, I can't tell what they are. Plus with the way they name paints these days, half the time the name doesn't even get you in the ballpark! LOL Thanks for the tip though I found some cool pics.

    Went by my Benjamin Moore store the other day and they have a "historic" color pallet with some really nice colors. They don't reference any particular years, but maybe I can find something close when I get ready. :-)
