    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!

    It's yellow. Or 'Primrose' as we like to call it in Roscommon.

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

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

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

    Paint manufacturers are such prententious knobs aren't they?

    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:

    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!
