[Public-List] Question on paint colors

[Mike Nikolich]

I would recommend getting a brochure or catalog with the paint "chips" from Interlux and from any other brands you're considering. Any marine store that carries the paint should have them.  There are too many different variables unrelated to the paint that can change how a color shows up on a computer screen.

Also, the brightest white might be too bright, similar to the sun reflecting off the snow on a ski slope.  When Skybird's mast and boom were painted they used one of Awlgrip's many off-white shades for this reason. I don't think Awlgrip is the best for doing the deck though, and I don't know the Brightside colors well enough to recommend a particular shade.

I'm planning to order a couple quarts of Interlux Brightside to use on the
deck and there are multiple shades of white to choose from. Adding to my
confusion, there appear to be a few of different color charts online that
show variation between colors of the same name...

Anyone here have experience with this paint who can point me to the
brightest white?

I'd also welcome suggestions on alternative brands that you've had a good
experience with. Single component since the non-skid is still in great
shape.
