Haint Blue Color – #c1d8d9: Codes and Complete Breakdown

Haint Blue is the pale blue-green the Gullah Geechee people of the coastal Lowcountry painted on porch ceilings to ward off restless spirits, or haints, who supposedly could not cross water. First made from indigo grown on the region’s plantations, the tradition spread across the American South. The Haint Blue color still cools and calms a porch ceiling today.
