red was the traditional color for barns because red paint was the cheapest paint there was. The pigments were very common, so...
By contrast, blue paint was expensive as the pigments were not common at all. So often, you would find kitchen's and other utility spaces painted red, while the master bedroom or parlor would be painted blue to show off for guests. |

Actually the rust colored red pigment in barn paint in days of old was so cheap, was because it was iron-oxide, or more commonly known as rust. It was the cheapest pigment available, and probably still is today. |

my barn is tan, chocolate brown sliding doors/gutters/downspouts/fascia and has medium brown shingles....AND IT'S WAY TOO FREAKIN' HOT IN THE SUMMER!!!!!
i vote for white or a very light grey with a white roof. i am so concerned about heat buildup i cool my hay for a week begore i risk stuffing it in the mow. btw, i can thank my wife for choosing those dark colors. yeah, it looks good...but damn is it ever hot in there when the summer sun shines. |

Because a barn sits in the elements 24/7 it needs tough paint. What is commonly available, inexpensive, and will never fade? Rust! They could paint the kitchens blue because they were protected from the sun. |

Yellow. Any wood sap that oozes through will be the same color.
I vote for Yellow with Gray trim. [img]http://photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/Attachments/DownloadAttach.asp?iImageUnq=14334[/img] |

Red Milk Paint I think even earlier than this barn paint had linseed oil and animal blood if you're thinking authentic. |

My wifes uncle saved his used motor oil till he had about 10 gallons. Then he got about 10 bottles of red chalkline dust from a job he was on. He mixed this all together and with a garden pumpup sprayer he painted his barn. That was about 12 years ago. It still looks good. The motor oil is a good treatmant to keep bugs and moisture out. Total cost? Well since he stole the chalkline dust, already had the sprayer, and the oil was waste, it cost about......nothing.
