[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't like gray walls, then what color would you suggest instead?  Doesn't it pretty much have to be either beige or gray for much of the home?  [/quote]

Why would it have to be those colors? There's a whole spectrum out there - what do *you* like?[/quote]

But you need to have a neutral backdrop for most of the house, right?  Or are you the one who paints the dining room red and the living room blue and the kitchen green?

If you don't like gray, then what color do you like to see in homes?

I do like gray!  In fact, I just repainted the formal living/dining room (and the damn ceilings) -- previously they were a dusty green kind of like scrubs.  Yes, the ceiling was green too.  I painted that white and the walls gray.[/quote]

Heh, well, if you LIKE grey then use it! Yes, we have a more colorful house. We painted one room a sort of whitish grey and I wish we'd painted that one something more cheerful, too. Our style is more tropical/eclectic than Pottery Barn so we weren't looking for a neutral backdrop. I think there are options beyond our bright tropical colors and plain grey, though - there are other more neutral colors you could use if you wanted.[/quote]

But it's not like the builder can read your mind, can he. Bright colors are great but they are pretty taste specific.  So builders put in neutral colors that appeal to the majority or at least don't interfere with individual taste.  You can always repaint once you bought.[/quote]
