I was looking at a woodworking catalog and they have a paint that will not fade. It is called “Milk Paint”.
According to the information: Made in small batches using earth pigments. Modern paints cannot compare with colors and the texture of the finish for achieving the ‘old’ or country look, the colors will not fade. Packaged as a powder, add water to make one pint.
Has anyone used this type paint? They show 16 colors with whites, reds, yellows, browns, blues and blacks.
