Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Choosing Colors

[Chris ScottHanson (chris]

Simplest, easiest, and least contentious (most constructive in terms of 
building community) is the have your architect select all the colors.  
They will be bolder.  You are less likely to end up with a grey 
community.  They are trained to do color selection, and will apply 
their training to a bigger view, a community view.

Let your architect do it, please.  In the end you will be much happier. 
 Much much happier.
