The above colors are as they appear over our charcoal primer. We will also use different stains and colored primers which change the color strengths depending on our final objective. Finish coats are applied and removed using various techniques as well. Sometimes we repeat a successful method and sometimes we just get lucky while straying into unknown areas! This inventory of color grows as we build more special order boards. (You buy the paint and we keep it!) As our inventory of color has grown we are finding that more and more selections are being made from the on-hand colors. (Everybody saves!) What makes this craft so much fun… No two boards will ever look alike!

Our selection of acrylics is represented by the stars and hearts. This color inventory is just too large to show, but if we don’t have it we get it!

Colors change as our technique changes so there will always be a variation. Also, you have to remember you are looking at a computer monitor and colors may look different dependent on all kinds of settings I know very little about.

Colors
The palette of colors we offer is almost infinite. Paint brands such as Benjamin Moore (www.benjaminmoore.com) Behr (www.behr.com) and Ralph Lauren (www.rlhome.polo.com) all make their collections of colors available online on interactive websites, as well as at retailers near you, to aid in your color selection. Many great color combinations can be created using their very sophisticated software. We will duplicate the colors you chose for your project.

Materials
All of our graphic designs are unique and painted on pine boards, and because in many cases the wood grain becomes an important design element …sometimes we just do not know what we have got until we have it!

Custom Designs
Interior Designers love the idea of picking up like or complementary colors on accent pieces in initial room design or room redesign. The Planet can help you with a very affordable, fun and decorative piece, created to your color specification …though we will add a modest “up charge” if we have to go out and have your colors mixed.

Please note: We do charge for custom colors, but only what the dealers charge us for the paint. Also, all of our checkerboard items are made from natural wood. This means that natural processes such as warping, twisting, shrinking, swelling and cracking may occur. We feel that since we are creating pieces that are made to look older than they actually are, that the natural processes which may occur, only add to the charm of the piece itself. Also, we create our pieces as decorative wall art, though they have the look of functional game boards. We do not ship game pieces and recommend that the boards not be used as toys for young children.
