Why - WHY - do almost all new residential builds have to be in shades of black, grey, and brown?? In northern climates where the landscape is white, grey, brown and often dark for half the year, why do our houses have to match??
I really truly do not get it. Maritime regions seem to understand the need for colour, why can't we prairie folk have that too?
This is an honest question. I would love some insight from anyone in the industry.
