Falu Red

First stop in Europe is Helsinki.

Towards the final approach, one can't miss the significant red which can be seen on a large percentage of cottages. The distinctive red paint, most commonly seen on the exterior of cottages and barns in Scandinavia, is called Falu red. A lady at Skansen museum in Stockholm, gave me a sheet of the painting advice and I bought half a litre of the paint back. Priced at about 39SGD.
