Tan paint is nasty. Why do you like tan, really?

I hate tan paint as much as you hate white paint.
Tan and beige look cheap and dirty after a while.

Do you buy tan and beige colored cars too?

Have you noticed how PC makers no longer make the beige computers you saw back in the late 20th and early 21st century?

People say white paint makes it seem like they're in a hospital.
Does offwhite still make you think so?

Check this out-

Hospitals are now painting their walls tan/beige.
I wonder how long it will be before people start saying that beige makes them feel like they're in a hospital.

Here's BP Brandon's offwhite apartment-

As you can see, when tenants actually DECORATE the walls, the place feels like home.

I don't like this tan fad. Offwhite is timeless.

My house is painted offwhite, but people ask if they can paint it tan or mocha.
I tell them to decorate the walls instead. Decorate with contrast.

Here's Brandon's apt painted in nasty tan-

As Chris pointed out, if you have customers telling you what they want, it really shouldn't matter what you think (assuming it doesn't cost anything more to give them what they want over what you want).

Seems silly (and just plain bad business) to argue with your customer's opinions...
