It’s not terrible, actually. I’d glue some mosaic tiles, beads and mirror fragments on the green, though, to minimize the powerful contrast.

I don’t know about anyone else. But I like bright colors, especially those of Spanish and Italian houses.

hahahaha i live right by here and noticed them powerwashing the brick all last week. when they took down the tarp a few days later, i was really surprised by the choice of paint color. do you think they were trying to make it look like the apt one door down from them but failed to choose a more subtle green (oo i like that apt next to me, ill get that color paint for around the windows…(cut to after the painters paint)…oh crap.

hahaha hobojo–thats the best part of this building. you cant see them in this pic though.

the front doors on a lot houses are painted a bright color ,only the front door. old timers who lived in row houses ,that were all alike, painted their doors different colors so they were easier to find when they came home in the bag they didn't enter the wrong house In response to bmacqueens who said:

Hypothesis -- could that bright green actually be a historical color? I once heard that people used lots of bright colors in the 1800's, when modern chemistry enabled paint manufacturers to come out with neat-o palates of color that they never had before. (Or it could just be a heinous mistake?)
