Default Paint colors picked! OT

We are going with Pressed Flower. White trim.

The runner up was Rose Colored.

Daughter likes the runner up better but it looked a bit too pink and Miami
for this area or this style of house. Actually the one I picked did shock
me a bit because I was expecting it to look more tan, but... It's such a
happy color! And I don't think there is any other house on this block that
is that color.

I do see what the painter was talking about though. You can't tell what
it's really going to look like from just the chip.

Why white trim? He was adamant against the green. Oddly enough, the paint
company themselves recommends a green as the contrast exterior color for the
Rose Colored. Anyway... I was checking the trim on the houses around here
and most are white. Actually a lot of the newer construction doesn't seem
to have any trim at all around the windows and such. They're very plain
looking but they are using brighter colors.
