Here we have the classic "Blue on Blue," which Bobby Vinton was most likely thinking of when he sang "Blue on blue, heartache on heartache." Notice how the vivid blue paint makes the September sky pale in comparison? That's power, baby!
A neighbor down the street was apparently so smitten with Blue on Blue he decided to do a riff on it. Here we have White on Blue.
Not to be outdone, a third neighbor stole both the other's schemes to come up with this beauty.
Moving in a completely different direction, how about teal on pink? You really can't go wrong with pink, you know. It's the new black.
I rest my case. Pink rules.
Nothing says "Southwest Style" like electric turquoise on salmon. Note the xeriscaping that completes the desert look.
It was too sunny when I snapped this photo so the pillow-mint green of the basecoat appears white. Trust me, it's not white and it's not pretty. I assume the homeowner was attempting to do "Southwest Style" here and missed the mark by a mile.
Okay, I lied when I said pink is the new black. Green is really the new black, and you can see why here. Green is just such a welcoming, natural color, no? Notice the delightful interplay of the green of the grass and that of the porch railing.
The lovely mauve here makes me so nostalgic for the eighties. And what an inspired choice of roofing!
Again, the sun washed out the color here. It's a very bold, very dramatic blue. A really pretty blue actually - for a dress.
Why?
This one is in my neighborhood and I pass it almost daily. When I saw them painting the taupe basecoat, I thought it was really sharp. Then they went in with the pine green accents and, well - it just made me really sad.
How not to use an accent color.
And now, in all seriousness, for my favorite. I love brown with black and white. I'd suggest a more off-white than they used here though. Since you specified Behr paint, my picks would be English Saddle (270F-7) for the base, Cornerstone (330E-2) for the trim and Black Suede (S-H-790) for the shutters and front door (if you're painting it).
