The Caparulos took cues from Colonial Williamsburg when they chose colors for their home. Their vibrant palette includes sun-yellow, caramel, burgundy, rustic red and hunter green. “We know that Williamsburg, which is our earliest record of colors, used enormously bright colors, bright purples and bright lavender. So we figured since this house was from the same period, that past residents would have probably have had the same sensibilities about light, having to get up with the sun and go to bed with it,” says Nancy.
