I don't remember without going down and looking. I made two trips to Home Depot and tried different colors each time. It just wasn't looking correct. Then my son-in-law, who has a great talent and eye for colors, agreed to try to help me. He just took 3 of the colors that I had and started mixing and blending them. He would paint a little, wipe some of it off, and then blend some more, and before I knew if it looked like limestone to me. So I tried it and it looked good to me. After I watched him do it, it seemed easy to me, but it wasn't before he showed me the way.

Thanks for the kind words.
