This question does NOT refer to Brands (e.g., is one "brand" better than another). Instead, it refers to colors---Specifically, I am thinking of painting the exterior of a house, "Hunter Green" (the only green that I can stand); however, I rarely see a house painted Hunter Green---QUESTION: Do dark colors, e.g., Hunter Green, fade faster than lighter colors?? Further, if I go with Hunter Green, should I go with a Satin or Semi-Gloss finish. I have always used a Satin finish--with success (the Satin hides some of the imperfections of an older house. I ask the question about type of finish; because I was told that Semi-Gloss retards fading better than other finishes---is this myth? Please help me out about Hunter Green. Please? Jaes.
