Pondering a Paint Job
Wed Apr 26 2006

We are talking about painting part of the front of our house. We originally thought that the area we are considering painting would have been painted as part of the initial construction, but apparently not.

I played around with the colors we're considering, and thought I'd ask what you all think. Which do you like better, the light blue or dark blue?

    I have a third option for you. How about the light blue on the main part and the dark blue on all the trim pieces instead of white.

    Light. Unless you made the dark blue less dark, then I might like the darker one....

    Boy is that wishy washy or what?

    I love bold colors so I'm going with the dark blue.

    Difficult choice. But I have an alternative suggestion. How about painting the "tudor" frames the same color as the window shutters, and leave the rest the same color.

    The dark blue is too dark to my taste, and the light is too light without some accent. So I suggest painting the trim to match the shutters.

    Shalom

    I like the dark blue. I think the light blue is too washed out, unless you added dark blue accents, like on the shutters and stuff. Pretty house!

    I definately like the light blue better - makes the house seem friendlier. But maybe some slightly darker blue trim just to give it depth? :)

    White with pink edges.
    The color one looks fakey.
    Not true color.

    I much prefer the lighter color. The dark makes it look as though you forgot to paint the rest of the house.

    The light blue. That would be my pick.

    I vote for light blue - as others have said, it's friendlier, somehow.
