‘The first Huguenot Church, located at the site of the present church, was blown up by city authorities in an effort to stop a spreading fire.

It was replaced by a simple brick church in 1800. This building was torn down in 1844 to make way for the present church, which was completed the following year.

This third church sustained damage during the Civil War and the Charleston Earthquake of 1886, and was restored with funds from Huguenot descendant Charles Lanier of New York. The church is surrounded by a graveyard where many Huguenots are buried.’ Wikipedia

The main chandelier in the sanctuary was in need of maintenance and repair several years ago. In keeping with Charleston traditions the metal areas, around the lights were painted a lighter blue.

Matching blue paint was researched for several years, none could be found. However a member of the congregation commented the blue looked the same as his truck, a common Ford 150.

A sample paint was requested from the Ford Motor Company, and it was identical. Ford provided the restoration company a special mix of blue. It matched and was added to the old chandelier.
