"So, if you want to paint your façade a bright red, white, and blue, the least you can do (to show your patriotism) is to be as accurate as your exterior will allow. Seek help from Albuquerque painting contractors like Andy’s Painting Inc. to get the colors and design right. If the current colors available won’t do, they can mix them up to spec. As there are dozens of shades of red and blue, it’s important for a professional Albuquerque house painter to carry a color guide. The Pantone color system is one of the most widely-used guides in the industry, with over 1,600 hues. Based on the system, the U.S. flag uses a PMS 282 (281 and 288 as alternatives) for blue and a PMS 193 for red. "
