The color of Cinco de Mayo, a Color Recipe

I found this old post from 2010 and decided to run it again since it is Cinco De Mayo time again. Wow, look at this post! Isn't it amazing to see how posting style can change over the years? Thank goodness, this is a bit lame but either way, any color information is good. Enjoy!

Avocado, lime, cilantro and tomato. When I saw this Color Recipe I was ready to get my paint brush and repaint my house. How festive is this? These bright, bold colors aren't for everyone but they will look awesome in the right house. Here's how you can do it.

   Cinco De Mayo! May 5th, celebrating Mexico’s victory and now you can be victorious with this amazing color scheme. 

From the neutral tints of the lime to the dark shade of the avocado. Can you feel the heat from the hot peppers?  These are the celebratory colors of Mexico. 

TIP: Remember to use tinted primer when painting with darker colors. Use a gray primer when painting with deep red. I know it sounds odd but it works. Ask a Home Depot Associate for help in the paint department. They’ll know what to do!
