The Usual
O’Neill went on to say, “No one would think twice about painting their porch blue, because their grandmother’s and their parents’ [porches] were blue. It’s permeated into porch design.” Lori Sawaya is a color design expert who also agreed and had said, “Porch ceilings have always been blue in the South.”
Origins
Where and when did the porch-painting tradition originate? The tradition is rooted in everyday issues as well as a common and shameful history. Sherwin-Williams stated that it most likely started with, who was referred to back then as, the Victorians.
