Green-Brown-White is the classic color trinity for over 2,000 years. Chosen by the best minds across centuries, seemingly chosen by Providence. Magic in Green-Brown-White ? It's unique for all permutations.

Where do I pull colors from for clients? Inside the house. Art, furniture, wallpaper, rugs, etc. Uniformly, once colors suggested, "I love that !" Of course.

In addition to Green-Brown-White, you get to choose a subsidiary color/s. To be used as hints, and also pulled from interiors, especially your art. Scrumptious Green-Brown-White, below. Saved for colors but seems more a current USA political poster.

Through many years of choosing exterior Green-Brown-White, something pops immediately. At first painting, home/garden recede into their niche, radiating considered contentment, an air of inevitability, and timelessness.

Aside from Green-Brown-White, above, all those subsidiary colors. Be still my heart.

There's little I encounter, not seen thru a Garden prism.

An answer to my question, yesterday, about Lucinda Wharton:
"Curious about her parents, how they raised this old soul child."
Lady Rebecca Eildon Courtenay (b. 1969), is married to Jeremy Lloyd Wharton; they have three daughters: Alice Lucinda Wharton (b. 1998), Emilia Rose Wharton (b. 1999) and Tatiana Elizabeth Wharton (b. 2002).
-the above from Lucinda Wharton's grandfather's Wikipedia entry

Thank you, The Hunting House, would not have known where to begin. Lucinda's love for her home in the country, palpable.

I loved the post on Lucinda and the link to her fascinating family. And the insight into why you were captivated by her. Maybe one reason your older female friends were happy to mentor you when you were Lucinda's age was that they saw in you what you see in Lucinda.
Thank you for the color trinity post, I always love them! When I first began reading your posts on color trinity I tried to think of something other than green, brown and white. I finally gave up and realized that it was me, in house and outside. It took me 11 months at this house to decide on exactly what shade of green I wanted to paint my front door but I absolutely adore it, 1 month later--Benjamin Moore Fairmont green. Even though the cheap vinyl shutters on the house are blue. The green door is my first step in getting my husband to take down those shutters this spring, I hope.
