Paint exterior same color as neighbor?
Comments (12)FWIW - We recently moved from a community (Florida) that had FOUR houses in a row the SAME color, one of which was OURS. Sure they were slightly different styles and two had a slight different trim color" but even three had same color roofs. Back in 1988 it started as (as was still supposed to be) "deed restricted" with H.O.A. but the HOA "dissolved" years ago and I guess "anything goes" as they say.... the lack of ANY "enforced" HOA was one of the main reasons (in addition to sloppy, un-cut lawns, vehicles and boats all over the streets, rowdy kids, etc.) we only stayed there one year then moved out !! Anyway, back ON-topic...... the "look" of FOUR houses the SAME COLOR was the strangest thing we ever saw, unfortunately down here in ever-growing Florida, it is very, very common, and when on a "zero-lot-line" (ONLY 7 1/2 feet TOTAL BETWEEN BOTH HOUSES) it really looks strange....See MoreDoes all the interior trim have to be the same?

Comments (4)There is likely a difference between EVERY mixed gallon of paint. You can't buy something off the shelf and expect to touch up a surface with the paint. Age, pollution, sun, humidity all contribute to changing the color. Also, the base material of an exterior paint is different than interior paint....See Moreexterior paint colors in interior room?
