Painting is done, except for the inevitable touch-ups that always seem to be necessary. For those of you that have guessing my inspiration was the CreamSicles.
Desperate for something I was looking at all the paint chips in a the rack and thought about a tangerine color when it came to me. A Creamsicle! I looked at a lot of color combinations but I think I nailed this one. I had to get a friend of mine to help with finding the right creamy white but it all turned out just like I had in mind.
Keep in mind your monitor and my dark shop don't lend themselves to a good color match, but it exactly what I had in mind. A slightly creamy orange color with a definite creamy white with just a hint of an orange tint. Just looks like a Creamsicle to me!
BTW, I am seriously considering renaming it Popsicle. I am not happy with Cotton Row.
