As a home builder, we know that in many residential areas one color tends to dominate: white. And if not white, then some other neutral shade.
Are these really your colors? What do you prefer and why?
Which colors would you consider? And are there any readers among you who have dared to explore a broader range of colors?
We at LivingHaus look forward to hearing about your experiences, feel free to share pictures as well.
Thank you, LivingHaus

I don’t share the view that, thankfully, zoning plans prevented the worst taste violations: in my experience, these tend to slip through all filters.
After more than 30 years, the other houses should be dirty white enough for a bright white one to really stand out, right?
I also know houses that fit with a dumpster in front of them *SCNR*
No, seriously: it looks quite nice.

our house is therefore more than 30 years younger than all the others, so it already stands out.
We definitely didn’t want WHITE,

Regarding Bavaria and not just any average painter: are there still Lüftlmaler workshops? – something like that could also interest me...

Yes, for example, in Oberammergau you can still find traditional ventilation painters.
We are getting a natural larch wood facade, so the exterior will change its appearance over the years. Honestly, the main reason was our laziness. We didn’t want to be forced to paint the facade again in our lifetime, so we’re letting it weather naturally. Of course, we like how it looks, and it suits a wooden house.
Otherwise, I am also against overly restrictive zoning or building regulations (building permits/planning permissions). Everyone should be free to do as they wish. Sometimes I simply accept things that I personally find terrible. It’s still better than all houses looking the same.
For example, in our neighborhood there is a house where the owner painted it light purple with some darker purple accents. The originally rather rustic balcony, for instance, is painted in this darker purple. Personally, it makes me cringe every time because I find the color(s) terrible, and combined with the type of house, it’s almost brutal... But oh well. It has its advantages: when giving directions, you just say, “go past the Milka house for 100 meters (yards), then turn left.” Everyone understands!

The idea of natural larch, a kind of silvery gray, sounds good to me. Weathered larch just looks nice. It has an honest feel, with patina, no paint.
The zoning plan is meant to ensure that construction supports peace in the neighborhood. It sets rules for ridge heights, building envelopes, floor area ratio, and so on. In terms of design, it should be flexible. What I like, you might not, but everyone has to tolerate each other. A purple facade doesn’t block my sunlight or violate building limits. So what. Our development is familiar with wood and stone, plaster, brick, yellow, white, red, turquoise, gray, deep red, anthracite, and bright yellow… anything goes.

And in this sense, it seems to me that where there is a development plan (and where §34 does not legally apply), there should "morally" be a requirement to blend in at its core. Freedom of taste doesn’t have to escalate into provocation for its own sake, or as a deliberate challenge to the “establishment.”
