No to light salmon and sea green. Yes to light yellow. For now.

The border around the entrance to Warren County Chancery Court remains the testing ground for painting the halls and corridors of the 66-year-old structure.

Twice this month, crews from the county’s buildings and grounds department have tinkered with a color scheme modeled after a floor tile pattern on the first floor, which emphasized a light salmon accented with sea green.

Now, thanks to what District 5 Supervisor Richard George called &#8220great dissatisfaction with what we had there,” the border is coated with a layer of the same light yellow that adorns other sections of walls around it.

&#8220We eventually want to paint the walls along the stairwells and in the basement,” George said, adding the board will advertise for bids once the board agrees on a color scheme and the cost is accurately determined.

In December, District 4 Supervisor Carl Flanders, last year’s board president, brought in historic preservationists to take a look at what colors to work with in painting the interior.

Responding to initial recommendations, the wavy-shaped art deco patterns bordering the courtroom were shaded with the pastel palette of the alternating squares seen between the Tax Collector’s and Chancery Clerk’s offices.

George, this year’s board president, said the more subtle yellow with the gold lettering against a black background is still in keeping with the courthouse’s historic standing.

Ultimately, George said, if a fresh shade of yellow is chosen as a master color scheme for the rest of the courthouse, it will still mesh visually.

&#8220It will work well with the lighting there,” George said.

The 55,224-square-foot Warren County Courthouse was built in 1940 as a Works Progress Administration project.
