    Dear Cara

    Thanks for your question and here is a simple description of how we did and that we hope can be helpful.

    We
    want the ocean green roofpaint would fade over to pure white in the lower part
    of the wall. To
    facilitate the transition, we used a lighter sea green color as an intermediate
    step. The
    colors we used were: the roof Patina 85, the lighter green of the gradient Mint
    60 and finally neutral white Hail Weiss.
    We
    started by painting the roof and about 75 cm down the walls of colored Patina
    85. Do not use masking tape on the wall, but please let the paint finish a
    little uneven and toned down the wall. Then
    the fun started to create a transition to lighter green and finally white. We
    chose to mix the different colors more between the shades to make the
    transition even smoother.
    As
    tools we used a lacquer paint brush in width 50 mm we pulled crisscross. Other
    possible tools are a natural sponge or a broader brush. The tool you choose
    affects the final result. A
    sponge gives a calmer impression while our narrow brush creates a little livelier
    result. How tinted walls
    you want it determines only you. And
    you will not be satisfied the first time, just try again!
