什么是’haint blue’?这就是南方门廊有蓝色天花板的原因

如果你有幸在南方阳光普照的环绕式门廊上品尝甜茶,你可能会抬头看到一个色彩缤纷的惊喜.

美国南部(以及东北部分地区)的门廊天花板几乎总是漆成蓝色 – 无论家庭外部的其他部分是白色,黄色,粉红色还是彩虹的任何其他颜色.

这不是巧合.

“首先,有民间传说,”本杰明摩尔战略设计情报总监艾伦奥尼尔解释道。 “那么,这就是感觉良好的因素。”

颜色我们好奇!

民间传说片段指的是“haint”的概念,“haunt”这个词的南方变体指的是幽灵或灵魂。 “蓝色代表水,显然灵魂不能穿越水,”奥尼尔说。 “人们会画天花板,窗户装饰,有时是门(以保持灵魂远离)。”

从迷信开始,从此转变为设计潮流。 “没有人会三思而后行,因为他们的祖母和他们的父母(门廊)是蓝色的,”奥尼尔解释说。 “它渗透到门廊设计中。”

事实上,淡蓝绿色现在在设计界被称为“haint blue”。

即使你不相信鬼魂,从设计角度来看,蓝色天花板也会带来很多好处。 “蔚蓝的天空是一个乐观的东西。它提醒我们天亮;它可以防止阴沉的天气和延迟夜幕降临,”奥尼尔说。 “画天花板蓝色带来了自然和天空。”

此外,您不必担心它与房子发生冲突。 “不管剩下的油漆颜色如何 – 我们看到的房屋有黄色或粉红色的外墙,蓝色的天花板,看起来不像油漆调色板,”奥尼尔解释说。 “它看起来像’哦,当然,那就是天空。’”

还有一个额外的好处:蓝色油漆被认为可以防止虫子和鸟类筑巢。虽然有些人认为这是由于过去在油漆供应中大量使用的碱液,但也有一种心理学的争论。.

“如果一只昆虫认为天花板确实是天空,它本能地就不会在那里筑巢,”奥尼尔说。 “这取决于你想要进入昆虫大脑的深度……但它与瓢虫落在白宫上的方式没有什么不同。这是一个视觉技巧。”

不管是什么原因,听起来好像花一些时间在蓝色的天花板下不会让我们感到沮丧!

    If you are lucky enough to enjoy sweet tea on a surrounding porch bathed in southern sunshine, you may look up and see a colorful surprise. Porch ceilings in the southern United States (and some parts of the northeast) are almost always painted blue – regardless of the white, yellow, pink, or rainbow colors of the rest of the exterior of the house. This is not a coincidence. This is not a trick of the light… but it is a trick. “First, there is folklore,” explains Allen ONeill, strategic design intelligence director at Benjamin Moore. “So, thats a feel-good factor.” We are curious about the color! The folklore fragment refers to the concept of “haint,” a southern variant of the word “haunt” that refers to ghosts or spirits. “Blue represents water, and apparently spirits cannot cross water,” ONeill says. “People would paint their ceilings, decorate their windows, and sometimes their doors (to keep spirits away).” From superstition, it has become a design trend. “No one thinks twice because their grandmothers and their parents (porches) were blue,” ONeill explains. “It permeates porch design.” In fact, pale blue-green is now known in the design world as “haint blue.” These are the most popular porch ceiling shades among Benjamin Moore customers. Even if you dont believe in ghosts, from a design perspective, a blue ceiling has many benefits. “A blue sky is an optimistic thing. It reminds us of daylight; it can prevent gloomy weather and delay the onset of night,” ONeill says. “Painting the ceiling blue brings nature and the sky inside.” Plus, you dont have to worry about it clashing with the house. “No matter what the rest of the paint color is – we see houses with yellow or pink exterior walls, blue ceilings dont look like a paint palette,” ONeill explains. “It looks like oh, of course, thats the sky.” Theres an extra benefit: blue paint is believed to prevent bugs and birds from nesting. While some people think this is due to the large amount of alkali used in paint supplies in the past, there is also a psychological argument. “If an insect thinks the ceiling is really the sky, it instinctively wont nest there,” ONeill says
