use Old Fashioned Milk Paint and a color chart can be found below for your reference. I will use any color you choose to complement your decorating style. There are chairs documented in all of these colors, but a few favorite colors stand out; black, mustard, green, red and blue. After several coats of milk paint are applied, the paint is sealed by three coats of satin varnish and then hand rubbed with a finishing wax.

Traditionally Windsor chairs were painted. If you prefer a natural finish chair, the wood choices are as follows:
Walnut seat and legs - oak back and spindles
Cherry seat and legs - oak back and spindles
