Opinions Wanted: What Color to Paint This House?
This is a 1957 block home that I am planning to rent out once renovations are done (next week). The original plan was to paint the exterior a light green with white fascia, but one of the neighbors supposedly harassed my handyman today because the sample of the green I put on the outside too closely resembles the shade of green on his house (they're different shades and he was totally out of line, but he's not totally without merit). So now I'm having to reconsider the color. The problem is I generally hate almost every color on these solid block homes (I tend to think most dark colors look really bad on block), and the green was the only one I've seen that I've liked.
Any ideas (with pics if possible, esp. if the house was also a solid block like this one)? Fwiw, the opposite neighbors house is a dark grey.
