KJ and I are currently in the process of doing some remodeling at our weekend mountain home in western North Carolina. We really want the exterior of the mountain home to look very rustic. And, after looking at so many different paint options, KJ and I settled on having the exterior looking exactly like the Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Thus, began a two week process of phone calls between Walt Disney World and myself. I spoke with so many different departments at WDW, including the Paint Shop!. Finally, Imagineering called back. Turns out the exterior colors on the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge are not proprietary. AND....... Disney Imagineering is happy to share! I'm sure they are proud of how those Villas turned out! So, in case any Disney fans, like myself, are ever intrested here is your information. Siding: Chocolate Truffle, Pittsburgh Paints (Satin) Trim: Branchport Brown, Benjamin Moore Paints (Satin) Balcony Deck: Wind Mill, Pittsburgh Paints (Satin) Window Trim: Clermont Green, Color Wheel (Satin) Downspouts/Gutters: Clermont Green, Color Wheel (Satin) Shutters: Clermont Green, Color Wheel (Satin) Balcony Rail: Branchport Brown, Benjamin Moore (Semi Gloss) Siding Shakes: Branchport Brown, Benjamin Moore (Satin) Walkway Ceiling: Davenport Tan, Benjamin Moore (Satin) Gable Green: Cavern Moss, Pittsburgh Paints (Satin) Red Flashing: Hot Apple Spice, Benjamin Moore (Satin) A big thanks to WDW Imagineering and Mousekeeping Departments for handling my request. Thanks Folks!

Seems like a win-win, especially for the paint companies. Heck, they could get the paint companies to print up the flyers on their nickel. Free advertising and all.

I'm actually very surprised That WDW hasn't opted to create their own colors, copyright them. And then offer them on their line of exclusive Disney paint colors. Anyway, I don't care, I'm happy! Thanks, FerretAfros. I'm pretty excited about it also. Should come out looking great. But, my general contractor thinks I'm crazy to want to paint the exterior of of the place with six different paint colors, LOL.
