    What Color Would You Never Paint Your Home?
    Jan 9 2008 - 10:37am Orlando Bloom recently painted his $2.75 million Hollywood Hills a near-black shade that has neighbors Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson a bit perturbed. While I think the house is actually kind of cool-looking (okay, and a bit goth, admittedly), I can see why it would turn off neighbors who have to look at it every day. There are definitely some shades that I'd never dream of painting my house — what are your color no-nos?

    I'd paint colors that compliment the neighborhood and the type of house (i.e. Victorian, Colonial, etc.) If I was living in Bermuda, and all the houses were colorful, I'd paint my house pink.

    i would paint it something totally different from the neighbors. like grey and pink! stripes? or flowers?

    then i can say, "my house is the only grey and pink house on the block."

    i don't see anything wrong with orlando's choice of color, i think it's pretty.

    how cool is that, he could borrow some sugar from charlize and scarlett?

    Totally depends on where the house is. My family has a victorian summer home in Cape May that is light blue and green... fits in perfectly with the neighborhood, because all the victorians are painted that way. I could never, ever paint my house pink though (the house next to ours is!) because I don't like the color. I don't think I'd want to live in a black house, either... can you imagine how hot it would get in the summer?

    I think his house looks great - at least from what I can tell. I would never paint a house orange because I don't like orange. Actually, come to think of it, Sherbert Orange is OK and much preferable to anything NEON, so I change my vote to neon. I like color and I'm not afraid to use it! I am also a fan of expression and making things match my colorful personality. My car, for example, is custom-painted pink. Eye-wink

    I went with neon, but if "all of the above" is an option, please count me in. Now, painting a wall or a room in a "wild" color for accent is another thing entirely, but the whole house?

    I mean, okay maybe a cool deep violet shutter on the right house would work just fine, but not the whole house. I actually don't think the grey would be too bad for an accent color, but it is a bit much on the whole house. Granted, I am not uber-cool Orlando either.

    It may be the angle, but I see nothing wrong with Orlando's color. As long as it's not electric green or is super unkempt (aka a huge eyesore), I don't think I'd object to someone else's creative choices.

    I Ireland (and in some towns around here) people paint their houses in all sorts of different, vibrant colors. The folk-lore says people do this so they don't accidentally walk into their neighbor's similarly-colored house by accident when they're drunk.

    There is a house in the neighborhood owned by an old veteran who owns a hot dog truck. He paints his house every sports season for his different teams. Right now it is red and gold for the 49ers. It has been black and orange for the Giants and Green and Yellow for the A's.

    I chose neon, because my dad own a bed and breakfast with bungalows that are painted neon green with royal blue and bright orange. Granted its on a tropical island, but I still think the colors are ridiculous.
    I'd have to say the absolute worse would probably be Pepto BismOl pink , I just don't really like pink much, I find it annoying.
