Did any of you happen to spot the new house on the road in Boredomland? It has a red roof. It is positively crimson. I do not understand. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Who made the decision to put a house with a red roof in a street made up entirely of gray houses?

Perhaps this is because something of such conformity as a row of solid gray houses might evoke interest. After all, it is typical for houses along a street to show some variation. Perhaps the person who made this decision was attempting to evoke the slight differences of a boringly typical street.

How positively scandalous. I am mildly irritated.
Zylaa makes a fair point; a row of identical gray houses is quite suspicious and unusual and may come off as odd and not boring at all. In which case I admire the brilliance of the owner of the house; perhaps we should all follow their lead.

The problem is that having one singular house that is different from all of the others is far worse than having an entire row of houses that are identical. If all the houses displayed minor differences, that would be satisfactory. But the current situation is just unbearable.
In any case, I believe that red is far too bright a color for the roof of a house; indeed, it is too bright for most situations. Varying shades of gray would be ideal, in my opinion. It would strike just the right balance between too uniform and too varied.

I propose a potential solution; perhaps we could all paint our own roofs varying shades of red? This would make the roof less vibrant and noticeable. While red is not a particularly ideal color for such a thing, at least more of it together would be better than a single red roof.

That is an interesting idea, Icon; however, I could not stand to live in a neighborhood with red roofs. We should not make concessions to variety and interest in our only safe haven. What would come next? Perhaps we would be forced to paint everything in rainbows to blend in with invading color. Can you imagine that? If anything, we should paint the one red roof gray.
