Normally, not a big blue person! But in this case: YEP!

The floor is also blue, but darker. ^_^

I like the green that you chose. A lot. :)

On the bottom layer, after the first couple of chemical stripping rounds, I found a variable range of green underneath it all. Somewhere in that range (which had changed to varying degrees due to the chemicals I used, the paints applied above it, and so on) was the original. This was about in the middle of that range, so I went with it. It's not actually quite the green I'd've chosen on my own? I'd've probably gone a little darker? But it's worked out fabulously. Arts and Crafts era colour designers: they knew their shit.
