20 Comments on Sherwin Williams 'Butt Ugly Blue'
The Scottish comedian Billy Connelly used to talk about this shade of BLUE (it needed to be shouted it was so loud!)
Yes Susan, the color in person is unbelievable!
I see your blue and raise you by an uglier blue :) Just sold this one so someone likes it :)
We used to have a neighbor who could drive in the daylight, but was legally blind and he painted his house the most amazing colors. One was a shade of blue not too far off this one, another was a brilliant pink, he called it salmon, but it was fluorescent pink. We eventually sold that house for him, while it was pink, but it wasn't easy.
Jeff, those pictures should have medical warning on them. Sunglasses only. Did the clients LIKE those colors? Maybe because it wasn't a traditional and classic 1905 Victorian I didn't think it looked as bad on that cute cape cod?
Dan, come on? Salmon or florescent pink? Come clean and be honest, it was your house right?
The color may be "Butt Ugly Blue" and I'll vote for it being bad...
But let's talk about the GAWD AWFUL logo for Sherwin Williams...
I have driven by and see that logo on their store and trucks for YEARS and I complain bitterly every time I see it.
"PAINT THE WORLD" and then you have a big bucket of blood-red paint pouring over the entire planet.
NIIIIICCCCCCCEEEEE.
What an image. The world being drowned in blood... Oh, it's red paint. Well, pardon me, my mistake.
Why the heck would we want to cover the world in RED SHERWIN WILLIAMS PAINT.
I'd paint a house "Butt Ugly Blue" anyday over "PAINTING THE WORLD" blood red!
THERE I finally had my say after ALL these years. I have threatened to write Sherwin Williams to complain, but this is the farthest I ever got... that and NEVER buying their paint based on their logo alone.
Feeling better now........ :-P
Nannette, never thought of it that way but you're right. I wonder if anyone has pointed that out to them recently? Maybe they'll see it?
Lyn,
I have a builder here that would love it!! He claims to be related to Richard Petty, so he says he favorite is Petty Blue. So can you imagine a home that color?
We have an Elgin here also.
Lyn - LMAO!!! That was funny! Thx for the laugh on this particularly butt-dragging Monday afternoon.
Okay, what would you call it? I actually lived down the street, this is the color after a few years of fading.
Dan
Paul, sorry I can't imagine a home in Petty Blue but I bet there is someone out there that would love it.
Dan: I think that is officially 'teal' not 'butt ugly blue'. There's alot of green in it.
Donne: Glad I could 'brighten' up your day! Where those shades!
Yep, no missing that house. No need to give the address, just give them the color and they will be able to find it in the dark! LOL What are some people thinking?
Wow, that is one blue house. Yikes!!! Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking. I hate to say that actually, but..
Jan Marie & Heather: Neon Blue house that you can find in the dark, in the fog too. On top of it they had a red and white garage in the back that was shared with the neighbors. Striped - cut down the middle with paint and their side (gee) didn't match the house.
Wow, and I thought you could only get the butt-ugly-blue color in carpeting.
And people wonder why there are covenants in housing developements.
No Rich, it's true the 'butt ugly series' has broken off into many accessory choices.
Yep, Bill, restrictions were made just for this reason. Maybe the neighbors are color blind and really don't know how bad it is.
Lyn, my wife works for NASA (really) and that house of yours is a visual reference/landmark for the shuttle pilots trying to find there way home.
How's life in Schaumburg...getting chilly I bet?
Nick, knew it! Pilots at O'hare use it too. It's too chilly too early. So much for Al Gore and his global warming scenario.
