Whistler Chalet With stone fireplaces and lots of wood a staple in so many alpine retreats, these rustic colours are the perfect complement to a weekend retreat. COLOUR SAVVY: A small sample chip that looks grey can turn into something radically different when painted on a wall. Remember, that if a neutral colour has an undertone of another colour in it, then that colour will become amplified once the paint has been applied. Rare Gray Outerspace Poolhouse Rustic Red Don't be fooled by the name, RARE GRAY has a green undertone. Over a large area this will be a soft earthy green that will look great with both wood and stone. POOLHOUSE has a slate feel to it. This slightly greyed out blue is another colour that looks great with earthy materials. There's a touch of brown in RUSTIC RED, a great colour for adding both warmth and a bit of drama. You may find yourself over the moon for OUTERSPACE. This versatile deep blue would be fabulous in a dining room, den, media room, or even a bedroom. ■ Paint: Sherwin Williams See SOURCES on page 60 Kora Sevier of K Colour (kcolour.com) is a Vancouver-based colour consultant. 38 | BC HOME & GARDEN June 2013 p34-39_Paint.indd 38 13-05-09 10:11 AM
