Now that fall is upon us and we are full speed ahead towards Christmas, I find myself painting more pieces in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Tricycle.

When we first started carrying Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint over two years ago, I talked with a couple who declared Tricycle to be “the perfect Red” based on their months of sample quarts, custom mixes and disappointment.

Tricycle is a great color for the holidays, or any days…what would YOU paint with the “perfect red”?
