Hi Lettie,

I need expert advice please on what color to use for a new farmhouse that we’re constructing in Pampanga. The house is situated on a big lot with rice fields on the side and at the back of the house. I want the look to be minimalist, perhaps a gray and white combination, but I’m at a loss on which shade of Paint to use.

I will be painting both inside and outside the farmhouse. The walls are made of concrete. For the inside, I’ll also be painting the ceiling which is wooden. There is no existing paint since this is a new home.

Thank you very much in advance!

From,
Boysen User J

Hi as well, Boysen User J.

Thank you for your message. I would love to help!

Color recommendations, however, are tricky business. Because different people have different responses to color and have different color preferences, selection is best done by the homeowner.

What I can do is recommend the paint product that you can use given the substrate to be painted. From there, I’ll also give you a sample of its readily available color or color available for mixing at a Mix & Match station.

Here’s a tip: if you want to easily browse Boysen’s wide selection of paint colors, get the Boysen App on your phone! There, you can look through the Color Collection section for colors you can have mixed or find the readily available colors for each product via the Products section.
