Silvergirlsails Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I am using the Provence Creme/Hunter Green scheme shown on the RGT website (actually chose Forest Green as the green), but I painted the foundation white instead. I've decided to put porch lattice around the foundation of my Victoria's Farmhouse. Now that I will be putting white lattice over the foundation, a darker color would work better on the foundation. Do you think the dark green could work underneath the white lattice, or would a dark gray or black look better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Why not tape or clamp the lattice on and see how you like it? I would need to see it to give you an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the dark green could work underneath the white lattice, or would a dark gray or black look better? Paint samples of each on scrap wood or card. Lay the lattice on top. Use the one you like best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fov Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Do you mean the area behind the lattice? I always paint that black, since it's supposed to be an empty space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping I could use the dark green paint I already have, but black may turn out to be the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
