paint color on houses

absolutely.

Edited to add: I would have a problem with it, but unless we were in a HOA that covered this type of issue, I would never say/do anything about it. 

Nope. I live in an old subdivision which is now part of the urban core. Some homes are beautifully updated and some are showing their age. It’s a sought after neighborhood and ugly houses aren’t a deterrent to sales.

I would never tell someone what color they could paint their house and we have a ton of variety of houses in our neighborhood...but those colors would stick out like a sore thumb in my very wooded area, so I'm not sure exactly how I would feel about it. There is a purple house in a neighborhood I drive past (also similar wooded area), it makes me happy to see, but I don't know if I would feel the same as a neighbor.

As long as my neighbors keep their homes up, no junkyards, etc. I couldn't care less about the color of the house. In fact, I'd likely love it.

I agree with the theory that you get to do what you want with property you own. I would never live in a HOA. I'd never even look at a home in one.

That doesn’t sound that far out there, it sounds like a lot of the Spanish style homes in Southern California. Go for it!

I wouldn't care. In our old neighborhood someone had a pepto pink house and I thought it was hilarious. They also had 2 Doberman and were bikers.

Well that doesnt sounds so far out there!! Is it bright? 

No, most of the houses in Ireland are painted bright colours. I love it, it's a happy thing to me.

this thread makes my head spin

i certainly don't care what color someone paints
and it doesn't pain me to look at any type/color home

i try to not be a twit about things like that

american HOA neighborhoods are so plain, vanilla

i think the color livens things up

my house has cedar siding - and my door and roof are dark brown -

i'm married to a boring paint color guy!

i LOVE european villages with brightly colored homes

so much character and personality in those homes

i always imagine HOA dwellers being named Karen and pissy about something!

i know it's a stereotype and all but - whoa - lots beige going on

i love being able to do and build as i please

and i don't give two shits what my neighbors think -

No way that sort of thing can be controlled where I live so I’d just have to make the best of it. Thankfully all of my neighbours have gone with neutral colours.

Every home in my 1950s neighborhood has a brick front.  All different, but somewhat the same.  Mine is a very light beige.  I have wood siding around the rest of my house and it is painted a cream color that shows every bit of dirt.  I hate it.  This summer we are having our house repainted.  I went up to look very closely at the roof.  I live in a ranch so it's hard for a shorty to see from the front of the house.  And my roof is green.  So we decided to go with a green color on the siding.  I cannot wait.  I feel like it is going to really freshen up the look of my house.  Last summer, I put a green chair on my front porch and added a decorative sign.  

I love color on homes.  I love our neighborhood.  It's affordable, but it does sometimes seem like all the houses look the same.  My ex and I once considered moving to an urban neighborhood of newly built, mixed housing.  The homes in there were adorable.  Beautiful colors all around.  We never did buy there, but I always thought that neighborhood would be fun to live in.  

Nope, but I live in a mixed neighborhood of manufactured homes, ranch homes, tri-level homes, and low income apartments. Not exactly upscale. I'm just happy the neighbors that hung a dead dear from the tree in the front yard moved.
