There are a few things I care less about than what color my house is. Which isn’t really true. I don’t want something outrageous like bright red and neon, or anything like that. Apart from that, who cares?

But because we’re having the side of our house, we’re done with stucco. We have to pick a color for our house. Sam is settled on a blue grayish color tint. So really it’s narrowing down exactly what kind of blue gray.

The contractor wants us to narrow it down to a few colors so he can get some swatches for us and eventually buy the paint, even though he has a couple more coats of stucco before he can paint the house.

And he’s been asking for over a week.

So last night Sam and I sat on the couch and looked at paint online. Specifically colors of paint that are designed for stucco.

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t have a great eye for color. There is not a lot of color in my wardrobe. And give me two tints that are similar and I’ll just shrug my shoulders.

I only see a minor difference between Teton Blue and Quay Blue. Especially when we’re living with it long-term. I’m not sure we notice any difference. But those are the two that we’ve settled on.

Pretty sure the sketch today shows  how much Sam and I really looked forward to sitting down and staring at a computer screen and our phones to look for paint colors. The sly smile hidden behind the tired eyes is quite accurate.
