The Paint Color Called Monticello Yellow
Unless you have visited the historic home of United States President Thomas Jefferson lately, you may not know that inside of his home, Monticello, is a particular paint color that is called Monticello Yellow. This rich, deep yellow paint color can be found in the dining room of the great estate, which is located in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Historians believe that the current yellow color of the dining room walls is a very close match to the color that Jefferson, himself, chose for his home, about 200 years ago. Speculation as to why he chose this yellow color is because it was a popular color of the time period, and it was also a very expensive choice.
The paint color, called Monticello Yellow, is now a product of Ralph Lauren Home. If you would like this deep golden color for a wall or two within your own home, then you can have it.
