[Marcia Starkey]

Rachael, As a start, you might find a dealer of California paints and ask 
for "A Guide to Color, Styles and Architectural Periods" folder as well as 
their color line from Historic New England called "Historic Colors of 
America".  Marcia Starkey, Greenfield

> The property will eventually be used for public functions and our choices

> have a connection with the period.

> Thank you for your recommendation
