Here's a wonderful, authentic Craftsman building with loads of detail lost in a bland color scheme. Working with the fixed stone elements and creating a warm earthy palette, we were able to elicit much more impact from this exceedingly desirable architectural style.
Color Palette Revealed:
Body: Sesame 318
Trim: Floral White
Accent Color: Firenze AF-225
Porch Ceiling: Crystal Blue 2051-70
Sesame is a very current color with some serious staying power. Leaning into a very light avocado, it is a great color for an apartment complex near UCLA that mostly houses students. Younger people don't have that color memory of the 60's avocado being everywhere, and appreciates thisgolden, earthy color more than previous generations.
Floral White is a naturally clean foil for Sesame, as it has a tinge of green with a fleck or two of red. Red and Yellow compliment one another.
Firenze is a rich red clay color, like a terracotta pot after a rainshower. Adding that to the plain band near the roofline adds an anchor color for the naturally terracotta-colored corbels under the eaves. We also dropped that color on the front porch, tying it in, warming it up, and showing it off.
You might be wondering where that pale blue color ties in. It doesn't, unless you know about historical porch colors. So check out our blog about the significance and story behind this charming practice on historical houses.
All this information and much, much more was compiled into our Curb Appeal Strategy Package for the owner of this historical Craftman Apartment complex in Los Angeles, California via the internet, for only $179.99.
