As some may know we're re-doing some of our house (yay, the joys of homeownership...). We have a brand-new lovely yellow stucco and now I have to pick a trim color. I didn't pick it ahead of time, because teeny swatches never look the same when spread all over your house. But now, I'm at the stage where I need to pick.
I could do white (white-ish) trim. It's sort of traditional, especially on my California crackerbox. So it's my fallback if I can't find something else, but I would like not to be a color coward and pick something a bit more ... colorful. So I'm playing around with the color pickers on various paint manufacturer sites and it's great fun. But man are some of them HORRIBLE. People on my street would never speak to me again.
"Oh, there's the crazy lady with the appalling yellow and teal house. Funny, she LOOKED so normal..."
"Let's hurry past, so she won't speak to us!"
hee.
