<<Dear List,
Tierra Nueva Cohousing is in the midst of choosing exterior colors for
our common house and individual units.  We have heard that some
communities find choosing colors to be an arduous process.  Any
suggestions out there on how we can approach this so we can reach  a non
contentious consensus?  >>

After we fairly easily came to agreement on a neutral base color, our
architect then presented us with a pallette of compatible (with eachother and
the base color) colors to choose from for our trim.  Each unit will have a
different color trim to distinguish it.  We each made a first and second
choice and the design committee will distribute the trim colors in a pleasing
way.  There were so many attractive choices that we didn't have much problem.
 Now it isn't final yet, so stay tuned.  But frankly, we have much bigger
fish to fry, and my trim color is the very least of my worries!!
