TRUE
COLOURS is an exterior paint granting
program of the Vancouver heritage Foundation
in partnership with Benjamin Moore &
Co. Ltd. for designated heritage buildings.
The colour schemes are chosen through
visual and historical analysis to match
the home's age and architectural style.
TRUE COLOURS is a granting and
education program that assists heritage
building owners to paint their homes
in authentic and original heritage colours.
TRUE COLOURS received an Award
of Honour at the 2000 City of Vancouver
Heritage Awards. Any homeowner in the
City of Vancouver with a designated
house in residential use (or a house
on the heritage register in the process
of designation) is eligible to apply.
Successful applicants to the TRUE
COLOURS granting program receive
a colour consultation with an experienced
heritage consultant and an historic
paint analysis into original and characteristic
colours of their home. Our corporate
sponsor, Benjamin Moore, provides the
paint for each house. A cash grant of
$2000 towards labour costs is available
from the Vancouver Heritage Foundation
upon completion of the work.
