colors of the month: shutter gray and mora

Sep 4, 2015 | Color of the Month, Milk Paint, News

Welcome to September! It is hard to believe the kids are back in school and it is almost Labor Day. The September Colors of the Month are Shutter Gray, a beautiful blue-gray and part of the original 12 colors, and Mora, a lovely green-gray that debuted this January as part of the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint European Color Collection.

Shutter Gray was part of the sample pack I received when I applied to be a retailer over three years ago! I happen to have a picture of the first piece I painted with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint. I still remember that day, thinking to myself, “this is the look I have always wanted and never been able to get with other types of paint”. What an exciting day!

I still have a soft spot for Shutter Gray because of this piece. I love how it looks blue in some lights and gray in others. I love how it covers like a champ but still looks light and airy. Here are a few other pieces…

We have also enjoyed working with Mora, similar in lightness but with green hues instead of blue, it is a lovely color for larger accent pieces…
