Haint Blue
I have a customer who has an old house, built in 1906. The house has a front porch and the customer wants the ceiling painted " Haint Blue". Evidently this was a popular color for porch ceilings in the South East coastal areas around Charleston SC, and Savannah Ga. during the 1800s. According to local legends, the blue colar is supposed to keep ghost away.
None of the paint suppliers around here have heard of it and therfore don't know what to mix. Have any of you ever heard of this color or have been asked to paint a porch ceiling this color? From the research I have done online, it appears to be a light, almost sky blue. I just wanted to find out if there was maybe an official "Haint Blue" color before I just randomly pick a shade of blue.
