Barbie-esque.  But that's just personal.  I find the amount of pink to be
offputting, and the suggestion that everything feminine is pink kind of
sets my teeth on edge.

Agreed.  Pink pieces are gross, and can't be reused in a normal town without
being noticed for being recycled Barbie-esque sets.  If placed next to any
other colour, it looks wrong.

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.

For anyone who as ever been to Miami Beach, specifically the South Beach  Art Deco
district, building in a Deco/Mediterranean style makes pink a very useful color,
as well as teal, orange, light blue, etc.

Check out the neat Miami Beach Deco website (I love the wavy lettering):
