David picked up these groovy Sherwin Williams paint color palettes a while ago and I have been meaning to scan and post them.

Of course, scanning means the colors are off a bit.  They are greyer for sure, the yellows not so yellow-y, in real life.

The line is called the “Suburban Modern Preservation Palette” and here is what they have to say about it:

Your future is bright.  With clear, cheerful colors the 1950’s exhibited a new American outlook.  The exuberance showed up on the walls as striking shades like Chartreuse and organic shapes like boomerangs.  Whether you just feel nostalgia for those optimistic days, or you want to recreate the period in exciting detail, our Suburban palette provides the hues you desire.

They really hit the nail on the head with these things.  Couldn’t we all use some exuberance and optimism right about now?  I’m wishing I had gone for a pink/green/aqua theme for the ModWalls kitchen backsplash!  Ah, well, save it for the next remodel.

Thank you, Doug and Rochelle Kramer, for providing me with a ray of sunshine on an overcast day.

People, if you have not yet visited this website (or if you have had an overcast or otherwise bleak and dreary afternoon), I suggest that you high tail it on over to RanchoStyle.com post haste and have a gander at their photo gallery.  Don’t forget to take a tissue to wipe the drool from your chin, my friend, you don’t want to look too craven.
