What's up with this greige? (furniture, cost, outside, walls)

Greige: the ideal color for people who can't decide between cool grey and warm beige.

And all those folks have greige cars too.'

Give me a color, a real color. I love going to beach towns where all the houses are bursting with pretty colors.

OP, do what makes you happy.

Ita. Does the O.P. have a beach house...like stucco? I would totally go with like a turquoise or blue. It’s super hard to give opinions without knowing the style of the house or neighborhood.

The untrained eye doesn’t see anything wrong- because you unconsciously “see it” everyday.

Take a trained eye, and a color swatch of what is was when it was originally painted and you’ll see more than just faded paint. It’s also being able to identify signs of what’s going on BEHIND the paint.

I said "fading patches", of course it fades, it fades within a week of putting it on, lol.

However, it is consistent, no patches, discoloration, etc.

It is futile to anticipate the taste of a future buyer. Please yourself. It’s only paint.

I prefer Benjamin Moore or Grahm.

Trendy colors are not always the best idea. But you never know, maybe it will come back. Just look at how popular those avacado and burnt orange kitchens are now.

OP is in the Pacific Northwest. Bright colors on old homes can look great. I’m in a mixed neighborhood in the Midwest with old/new homes and there are tons of brightly colored ones. Lavender is relatively popular, but there are also orange homes, a home that reminds me of Commander’s Palace in NO, and many others with fun combinations of colors- like green with a dark red trim, etc. There is a small neighborhood nearby that is midcentury, and those tend to be more natural colors- like brown, dark gray, etc with bright doors. My sister has a midcentury home in CA and went for gray with green trim and a combination of green and a bright sky blue for the doors. She said she wanted a fuchsia door but was rejected.

a "neutral" color for most of the house, but bright accent colors here and there?

Tho I thought the O.P. said she didn’t have a HOA?
