How to Choose a Paint Color for a Victorian Home

Hi I'm Betty Ingham and I'm speaking on behalf of Expert Village and I would like to talk to you today about restoring an old victorian home. Colors for victorian house that we had seen were all white so I got on the internet to see if that's what we wanted to do. The victorian houses we're built from probably 1850 to 1910 so our house we think they built it in 1905 the victorians loved bright colors, they did not like white but in the early 1900's when the banks went belly up that's all they could get was white paint. The colors were so expensive that they quit making colored paint the victorians loved greens, dark reds, mustard yellow, grays, anything that had a nature color to it they loved. So therefore, we painted our trim the red, and green, and the sage color or the light green those we're the colors that we loved.
