A Bird's-eye View Of Selecting Paint Colors!!!

by - edited

While helping my customer recently, I discovered a new way to select colors ... allow our domestic friends to help choose our colors.

Two of the most colorful pets I've ever seen, with colorful personalities to match, climbed right up on the Behr Ultra display and began tossing out the color chips they liked.

Have a look.

Pinky Doom (14) and Jesse James (4) picking colors.

I learn something new almost every day at The Paint Pit.

That day I learned that our domestic friends have strong preferences when helping pick colors.

Beautiful show stoppers who were so full of themselves!!!

Thanks for sharing Johnnie!

Pat these birds are very smart. This is really cool. However you didn't mention what colors they picked out. It would be interesting to see what different animals would pick for colors.
