    What's the best green for a two-toned gray depot roof?

    I've been considering Hunter Green...is it close? (Anita's Acrylic Craft Paint #11040)

    I used Floquil "Reading Green" and was very pleased with the result. The paint number is FLO110183. Jeff Cooney

    Glenn,
    On my first ever depot project (a rather clumsy, out-of-scale standard depot based on Rogersville, MO), I started with a craft-type of Hunter green, but it looked way too bright. I think I toned it down with some gray and white until it had more of a faded look to it. It was adequate, especially from 12 inches away.

    Best Regards,

    ---I used the Hunter Green I mentioned on a couple of test pieces and I like it...itwould probably look better if it were more prototypically weathered, but it'll do for now.

    Wow, for a minute there I thought I was looking at a model of the depot at Clayton, Oklahoma. Nicely done!
