[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I tend to be a boring classic person.
Our old house was the tiniest bit pink tan. Ok well, sometimes it definitely looked pink. It was stucco. Burgundy-ish red door. The garage matched the house. 
I painted it Greige with a Navy door. Painted garage a bright white (not white, but you know).

Currently we are a tan-yellow or a yellow-tan. We are the only ones in the neighborhood.

I just analyzed all of my data, and if I wanted to completely fit in, the highest #s are tan siding, white or light garage, black door, black shutters.

The more unique touches in the neighborhood:
-Siding with dual tones (side vs. shingle siding in front)
-White with a tinge of light blue - same exact unique layout as ours, and I hate their choice.
-Gray, sometimes looks darker blue
-gray with a tinge of green (ugly original)
-gray
-brown with a tinge of green

Doors
-turquoise
-tan
-light blue
-3 with cream, which I think I love
-bold robins egg
-3 with red

Shutters
-turquoise
-red
-brownish gray or grayish brown
-7 with wood of various shades[/quote]

What about a sage/dusty green with black door and shutters, white garage? I love dark green for houses, but sounds like that would be out of place in your neighborhood. Our house is beige with very dark green shutters and door (beige garage door) and I love it - luckily, since it's HOA-dictated :P[/quote]
