Richmond Bisque? Deep Russet? Hickory? The names are enough to make your head spin. Choosing a paint color becomes even more baffling when you consider that most houses use at least three different shades:
- one color for the siding;
- another color for eaves, moldings, and other trim;
- and a third color for accents such as doors, railings, and window sashes.
