Home Exterior Colors

[The Critic]

We’re in the process of choosing colors for our exterior repaint project. My wife loves medium shades of green. Our realtor friends are cautioning us to avoid green and to select something more gray-ish for resale purposes. Because supposedly…green is an extremely polarizing color and could limit our pool of potential buyers.

My question: why is green such a polarizing color for home exteriors? In general, I have seen very few green houses.

I like the SW Pewter. Green can be good as an accent color, but too much green I have to agree is a negative. Can always repaint! If you don't plan to sell anytime soon, what difference does resale make?
