White-anthracite - Where does the preference come from?

Anthracite = timeless White = timeless

Pale yellow = yellowed -> has something of romance, dreaming, antiquity and playfulness (apricot, pastel, pink) Further association: childish, fragility, femininity of yesteryear. Many reject it. White-anthracite is quite inexpensive to implement (exterior facade) and appears modern. Powder colors are by the way winter colors. Inside, anthracite and white provide a good base or background color to bring other things to the foreground. However, also mainstream: 40 years ago hardly anyone would have designed anything in black indoors. Black was a color of mourning ...

I find pink houses, for example, absolutely terrible.

Ok, I could also agree on purple.

I am a Köln fan. Why? Because I don't like Bayern.

Maybe does not fade so quickly. I know two who have red color accents. Looks great, must be repainted every 2 years.

Peach is for eating, and tender green reminds me of hospital *shudder
I'm glad to live in the brickland.
I would have preferred a red roof and white windows, but unfortunately the neighbors didn’t agree...

My house is white plastered with red accents and base, windows and roof in anthracite gray. Personally, pastel colors are not for me; pastel yellow would be the worst punishment for me. So it’s all a matter of taste. I also have a kitchen with a concrete look now – I love it, others would never have something like that in their house.
