To really stand out, make sure that your postcards and business cards are all the same bright yellow or orange or whatever color that jumps out at you.

Ski in the winter, fish in the summer, enjoy the colors in the fall... 

I was looking around the north side, but not having any luck places that would cash flow (without being very creative).I recently redid a data analysis looking at zip code level trends - basically areas that are likely to have 1% opportunities and also regions that are showing positive movement for population and rent growth.Here's a map (the color is population growth according to census data - yellow up to 9% and green above 9%). 

But some things that most people would probably agree on are a neutral paint pallet - painting over the dark colors, and cleaning up as much clutter and personal items as possible for the pictures you or your agent will use to market the property.   

Too risque, too "out there", too colorful...

I'd really rather discuss 3 phase power, USTs, Rail Sidings, and Overhead Cranes, than kitchen remodeling and color schemes.Is there a forum somewhere that is more of a commercial/industrial hotspot?

What did you do in the bathroom to change the color from blue to white tile?  

Have a look at "What Color is Your Parachute", which is a book about trying to figure out what sort of job is a fit for you.

Read on color theory.

But for your living space, you may want nicer finishes and weird colors (this is were I get into trouble.)
