Isn't it funny how a paint name can sway you, well that is if it really is a good name. I just used Boca Raton by BM on our back door and I don't know if dreams of an ocean side home somehow convinced me or if the colour truly just grew on me on it's own. I absolutely love it!<br /><br />SandraSerendipitous Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901783747406407395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-57364978763895205862010-11-14T20:55:58.338-05:002010-11-14T20:55:58.338-05:00I love the name and color of Benjamin Moore's ...I love the name and color of Benjamin Moore's Sweet Dreams - a soft, light tiffany blue!Kim@Chattafabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519972782429131685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-25874529777628372742010-11-14T18:04:29.664-05:002010-11-14T18:04:29.664-05:00Well, I've just gotten back from the movie the...Well, I've just gotten back from the movie theatRE and read your post. How much grief I received when I moved from Canada to US in 10th grade and had to learn to spell "correctly". On behalf of my teenage self thank you for the "U". There were all sorts of pronunciation issues as well, but why go there...<br /><br />I don't remember the name of the coloUr, but I painted my son's room when he was in Junior High (not Middle School as the Yanks call it) and he had picked out something that had a southwestern tinge to it. So we thought. We called it the "Salmon room" for years and some of my daughter's friends dared to call it "pink"! But he liked it and now that he has moved on to his adult life I have restored the room to "Antique White". Phew. P.S. I had to learn not to say "eh" too. Now I have been known to say "y'all".

As someone that does alot of painting this happens to me regularly; I do keep myself in check to go with the colour not the colour that makes me feel I'm in the mediterranean sea. :)Raine and Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890862541890241422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-58173498484631960082010-11-14T15:27:41.514-05:002010-11-14T15:27:41.514-05:00Yayyyyyy Chania....THANK YOU for putting the '...Yayyyyyy Chania....THANK YOU for putting the 'U' back in C-O-L-O-U-R....That one drives me NUTS.... :o) !!!<br /><br />Can't say that I've ever been influenced by the name of a coloUr....I just line the sample cards up & if I haven't been able to pick one after 10 minutes I close my eyes, waves my hands around & take a stab....It's worked for the most part....hahahahaha....!<br /><br />Have a SPLENDID week Lovey....!<br /><br />Cheers from Oz,<br />Tamarah :o)Shabby Vintage Junkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905338587479330990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-7075174607016030812010-11-14T14:00:15.895-05:002010-11-14T14:00:15.895-05:00hahah I just posted about my mistake of yellow in ...hahah I just posted about my mistake of yellow in my family room.

The colour names read like poetry - 'Dusted Damson' 'Lemon Tropics' 'Blue Reflection' 'Coffee Liqueur' etc so someone has obviously done a marketing exercise there! I think the name does influence me to a certain extent as long as the shade is right! I don't think I could buy a paint if it was called 'Tapioca' or 'Watery Cabbage'! It must be all to do with word association!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-18733314325509374352010-11-14T11:36:04.581-05:002010-11-14T11:36:04.581-05:00My dining room is called Tide Pools....from Behr.....My dining room is called Tide Pools....from Behr...(before paint store)<br /><br />It is a serene as it's name.<br /><br />What about street names?
