Well..... I agree with Jeff that Belville is too pink but I don't agree that
pink is a bad color.  I think it is great in town and work really well putting
details and highlights on Victorian style buildings.

I personally think that the more colors the better (as long as we can get them
in bulk).

One example is that I used light pink window mullions in the three story
building in my Mainstreet.  The building is Tan, Blue, Red, and pink
highlights.  Sounds awful?  Take a look I really like it.
