NOTE: if fluorescent lights are used take particular care to view the color under them as any shade goes a bit stark and cool in florescent lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_533\" style=\"width: 246px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.yankeebarnhomes.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-533\" title=\"remodeled post and beam\" src=\"https:\/\/genmoda.info\/ybh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/copy-of-remodeled-gathering-house0292.jpg\" alt=\"Here is the same room painted in the color Chai by C2.\" width=\"236\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-533\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here is the same room painted in the color Chai by C2.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_535\" style=\"width: 245px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.yankeebarnhomes.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-535\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-535\" title=\"Timber frame entry\" src=\"https:\/\/genmoda.info\/ybh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/copy-of-remodeled-gathering-house0016.jpg\" alt=\"Benjamin Moore's Spiced Pumpkin creates an element of surprise in the entryway.\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Benjamin Moore&#8217;s Spiced Pumpkin creates a warm element of surprise in the entryway.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_536\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.yankeebarnhomes.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-536\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-536\" title=\"Yankee Barn NH Model Home\" src=\"https:\/\/genmoda.info\/ybh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/copy-of-paint-and-bodie-0304.jpg\" alt=\"Here's another shot of the color Chai by C2.
