What color red for the tractor shed?

The perfect red paint for our shed.

A few days of Indian Summer inspired us to repaint the tractor shed. Most of the paint was peeling on the south side, so after scraping and priming, it was time to pick a paint color. But I had no idea what color chip to select for a nice “barn red.” So of course, I turned to the internet and searched for advice. It turns out that Behr makes a special paint for barns and fences! Available in red and white, this paint is less expensive than exterior house paint, and  according to Behr, “dry film will not harm livestock.” So, we’re trying it out, mostly for the color, though.
