I Like that too, isn't that kinda the same as the papaya color that SoFLGal noted? I also really like all the bright pastel colored homes - but I guess you have to go to Bermuda for that. I have always gotten a little gloomy with the overcast skys up in Western NY. I can't wait to get down there - especially this winter.

The worst are those sickly green colored houses that look like baby diarrhea. (sorry for the image!)

I think it's good if you've got young kids--if they puke on the wall it doesn't show.

My fav: Naples Yellow with white trim-not the harsh yellow, a "mellow yellow" but not old gold.
I like beige too and will be painting our house that color as soon as the heat abates. The house is currently harsh bright yellow and I want something that my rose plants will look good against. Beige is the perfect backdrop. If I didn't have roses I would go for terra cotta instead of my fav yellow because it would be diff. from our last house and match the brick walkway.
I love all the Florida colors. The house next door is green and the one farther is blue. Terra cotta or yellow would be perfect but I'm going with beige :-)

Around here almost all the "new" houses are those "Tuscan" colors...I personally can't stand them!! They remind me of camoflauge hunter's clothes with the olive green, brown & tan!!
My house is beige with peach color tile roof & trim, & turquoise ceilings on the porch roofs.

The poop green colored ones that seem to be so popular in the cookie cutter subdivisions.

I've always favored beige colors. But my current house is a pale yellow with a green roof (country-style home), and I love it!

Anything but the pinky coral houses. Maybe it's my northern background but I just see orange!
