Dandelion yellow! (According to Crayola anyway). It looks like a giant Easter basket. Love the picture Mike. Beautiful capture, as usual.

  Crayola is the definitive master for color definition. Even better than Sherwin Williams.

    Hi Michele. I don’t know that I said dandelion yellow but I might if dandelion was not too bright as this barn was toned down just a wee bit.
    Where is your barn located?

I googled “history of painted barns” to see if I could find out why they are painted the way they are. It appears that through time red became the standard because it was easy for the farmers to mix from scratch and was cheap. Then whitewash became cheaper and barns began to pop up white. Now it doesn’t matter, really. All colors are available. I really like this yellow one. So happy!

  I thought it was stunning. I read once that the fastest selling homes were yellow. So if its ok to paint our barns any color we want, mine (the one I’ll never have) will not be red. I think I’ll take a poll and leave it up to my horses.
