Selecting a House Color

We have a colorful neighborhood.  My house is blue, and just next to me is a green house.  On the other side of the green house is one that is barn red.  My other next door neighbor is going to paint her house and she's selected a yellow ochre color.  She is from Sicily and she wants to give her home an Italian villa look.   Here are a few colorful views around my neighborhood.
