He wants me to pick a darker color.

Trees can be nice and provide some shade, which can help with cooling the house.  

You used to have darker text for the content and signatures and names seemed lighter in the past. 2. 

Just because of the different angles the they appear different shades.

I might go one step further and paint just the back wall of the carport with with either the "frontier tan" or something a tad lighter or darker.

Is there a "neutral" color to pick, and is it better to go darker or lighter?

The cheaper ones were closest to the loop.....then I was knocking around elsewhere and found a gang map that shaded the cheaper ones.  

No blinds, no shades, no hurricane panels, no burglar cage...All this for $50 at The Home Depot for this fancy multifunctional window.

Every new person we meet is, in some shade or shape, a reflection of who we are.Second, that's a GREAT way to network!

When purchasing a system, size matters, as there's sometimes a sweet spot where you maximize the available incentives but don't offset your energy consumption 100% (e.g. in Oregon, the state tax credit maxes out at $6,000, so systems larger than 3.5kW can cost more per watt, if you're buying the system yourself).It depends on which state you're in, the direction your roof faces, the pitch of your roof, the age of your roof, shading, the average amount of annual sunlight in your area, your electricity company's available incentives, your electricity rate, your electricity rate plan, how long you plan to own the property, how much electricity you currently pay for (if any), how new/energy-efficient the building already is, and available financing options.  3.
