With a handful of paint chips and the Sherwin-Williams Color Visualizer to try out the colors with, I quickly whittled my options down to Peppercorn. But then, the second guessing started so on my trip to buy paint, I decided to ask the Sherwin-Williams staff for their opinion.

Father’s Day Tie
Giving Dad a tie for Father's Day is kind of a no brainer--but this year give him one he'll never forget!
