I painted my house. Did I go too bright/colorful?
- Thread starter AppleBlade
- Start date
I painted my house recently. It's been this drab green with brown trim since we purchased it 6 years ago. My wife and I have always liked more colorful and brighter homes. We painted it a bright greenish blue and went with a creamy white trim. I'm 90% in love with it but there is a 10% of me that thinks maybe I went to bright or that it looks weird. I'm not sure if that's just me needing to get used to such a drastic change. What are your thoughts? I posted a picture of the front facade with some flowers my wife planted and below are before and after.

Whenever somebody says they went with a bright/colorful house color I'm prepared to hate it but this looks really nice! it's bright but not ostentatious or glaring.
lol at all the flag comments. why do yall care that much. growing up my parents had a spot for a flag so around the 4th they'd have the flag in, during sports seasons it would swap out for a team flag, there were other holiday flags. lame to care that much

I love it. My old home in Jersey was painted very colorful too.
Definitely stood out amongst the drab white houses on the block.

I like it and the color is not too vibrant imo. But I agree white shutters would look great just as garage doors do
No it looks good and you did a good job painting.
I wonder tho if the shutters should be white. What was your motivation for going a darker shade of blue for the shutters instead of matching the trim color?

It looks really nice, and maybe it's just 'cause I tend to think neon and fluorescent when I hear bright but it doesn't seem garish to me. Just a fresh and colourful home.
The only nitpick I have is the front and back doors don't really fit in with the rest of the colour scheme, although I'm not too sure about the red door suggestions.

I really like the original green and brown. Those are some of my favorite colors. But do what you like.
You did a great painting job! Personally, I would go with a color that's just a little more muted, as that shade of blue looks like a candy shade of blue, but it's definitely an improvement over the previous green
I love it!
Well done OP!
[I must say though, as a non-American, the whole American flag outside the house thing is def weird to me... even after all these years on Earth]

I have to ask about the flag? Whenever I see that I get major conservative vibes. I also in general I don't understand the flag stuff, like... what does it even represent anymore?? You're proud of Trump ran America, or you're proud of the land mass called America?
