Brooklyn

Over the weekend, the owner of this brownstone in the Capital Hill nabe of Washington D.C. posted on the Forum, looking for some input on what color to paint his window trim. Since we’re partially color-blind, we won’t weigh in too much on this one, except to say that we think white should be avoided at all costs on brownstones and even many brick houses (unless it’s clearly a Georgian thing). We’re probably overly biased against white windows since it’s the predominant color of the vinyl windows that mar otherwise beautiful facades in many of the less expensive parts of Brownstone Brooklyn. We went with black, which is pretty much the default color. There were a couple of commenters on the Forum banging the table for dark, dark green. Where do you stand on the issue?
