What Colour Is Your House?

The Backwards Man

Gonna paint the house tomorrow, but it's a balls trying to pick colours. I'm thinking something creamy or greyey with lilacy or lavendery on the cornerstones, but I'm flummoxed to be honest.

Inspire me AH!

Pinch Flat

Red brick

Archeron

Mine is fifteen different shades of bird sh-t.

Fooking feathery bastards.

It's a block of apartments. I don't know what colour it is on the outside though. Maybe brown?

Nothing, nothing at all. I'm sure it'll be, eh, lovely.

I don't know the banks repossessed it.

Sir Arthur Daley

Do a 3D carbon fibre wrap on the house and tint out the windows with 5% light transmission.

At least we have walls to paint, not mud huts like you.

Ah, polished pebble with a hint of jasmine sky, I like it.

Paint manufacturers are such prententious knobs aren't they?

Noccy_Mondy

Now if you push me to it, I'd have to say my house colour is grey. No, blue. A soft blue with a hint of grey. No, orange. Yes, orange. I remember now.

I'm colour blind :pac:

Lingua Franca

Brick red. Red the colour of brick.

Brick, really.

I'm just remembering the discussions surrounding the colour choice, it was always going to be Weathershield (only the best, you know) but the competition between Soft Avoca and Cobblelock for the main walls was fierce. When you start referring to the colours by name you know you're fcuked!

anthonyos

Mine is translucent paint

My building is stone coloured. Because it's stone.

Go for magnolia with the burnt senna cornerstones, fascia and trim. Anything but lavender.

No rush, my aunt built her house over 30 years ago and they're still choosing a colour! Seriously!

Burnt senna is very close to the colour it is now though, I want to be different dammit.:pac:

And what's wrong with lavender? Sheesh, tough crowd.:(

I'm supportive of the lavender! As long as it's not too bright it'll be lovely

Ihatecuddles

Red brick.

Turns out there's a shade called Elephants Breath.

That made me laugh, a lot. F*cking eejits.

PizzamanIRL

I kind of laughed at the title of this thread, even though it's perfectly normal question. Just not something you hear that often.

Mine's cremey beigey milky

Oh all right, go for the lavender. Actually, pink and lavender would work well if you want to be really different.

Or you could paint all the cornerstones different pastel shades.

My friend's brother does stuff like that, it's really cool!

Teyla Emmagan

I think a light grey with either your lilac or lavender on the cornerstones would be lovely. Or a darker grey if you chicken out.

The burgandy sounds awful

yellowlabrador

Get Banksy round to do the job. You'll never have to paint again.
