Some people like to paint the ceiling of their porches a light blue-green color. While this tradition started in Southern homes in the areas of Charleston, SC and Savannah, GAto ward off evil spirits, the practice has quickly spread across the country and boasts several benefits you may want to take advantage of. There are some claims that this color can help ward off insects from your outdoor space because it tricks them into thinking the blue paint is the sky, so they won’t nest there. If you want to add “haint blue” to your outdoor space, we offer a ton ofbeautiful exterior paint optionsfrom Benjamin Moore, and our color consultations can help you find exactly the right shade.
