I painted my house. Did I go too bright/colorful?

I think it looks good. So if you like it, I wouldn't worry. I suppose if it seems way out of keeping with the rest of the neighborhood, I can see how that would make you a bit self-conscious about it.

It looks great! The old color was kinda lifeless, tbh.

If I had to make any suggestions, it'd be the doors and maybe the roof? I'm not a fan of browns with lighter blues like that. That's all personal taste, though.

Nice job, I love it!

That flag is meh, though. I never understood the American need to display their "patriotism" each and everyday of the year...

My answer was no before opening the thread. The world needs more colorful houses, this looks great.

Looks great and I think the color is going to weather really nicely over time as well.

By my measure, there's nothing to regret OP -- well done.

Huge improvement over the previous one. Keep it and see how it goes. You can always change it up on a few years time.

Your old paint looks like a house out of a horror game.
New one much better.

-2 style points for the flag though

I wouldn't have picked such a saturated shade of blue, but it doesn't look bad by any means.

Definitely looks better, no question.

May have went a shade darker on the blue, but that's a personal preference thing.

Looks great. How about the doors? Consider changing the color there too? Maybe bright red?

I mean, I personally don't love the color, but that's the nice thing about paint. Sit on it for a while, and re-paint if you don't like it.

Looks nice! Reminds me of houses in Copenhagen (just color obviously, not architectural style).

Get a new door and replace all that dumb grass next.

Too bright for my liking, but it's better than what was there.

Good lord, why would you add a bright red door to a dark/light blue house with white trim?

I have a Canadian flag, but I don't have an ounce of "patriotism" in me. Flag pole came with the house so I figured.. why not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks really nice. I agree, the old green looked a bit...horror movie-y

I do feel like the roof would benefit from a darker color for a sharper contrast against the blue though.
