How coincidental is this thread! We are having our house painted. Our architect from New Orleans renovated Oak Alley near NOLA and gave us the formulas from that house. None of these formulas that we've used since we built the house work now because everything has gone digital. We contacted the firm he established (he died in 1993), and they were able to help us with every color except the haint blue. The chief architect of the firm told us that haint blue is the color of the sky on a clear day. He said it's different in GA than in NOLA or in North Carolina or anywhere else. He suggested that we take a color fan, hold it to the sky, and choose the color that matches it the best. We picked Benjamin Moore's "Jetstream."
So, Lynnie, get yourself some haint blue, and it will chase off the evil spirits and the wasps.
