As much as I loved my color choices, my dad has hated them, but because it was my house he didn't complain. Now there is some work being done to the house that will cause the repainted of part of the exterior. So now I have options - should I stick with my super bright house and pink door, or should I throw my dad a bone and go with something new that would be more to his liking. Before you go and say "hey, it's your house not his" I will point out that 1) he is the one doing all the work to my house, and covering some on my supplies, 2) my house is wicked small so repainting the entire thing would only take a few hours (that includes multiple coats), and 3) I wouldn't repaint with a color I didn't like as well.
Right now I am thinking about these colors from Glidden for the walls:
Amethyst Haze
Grey Heather
Lavender Cloud
Polished Pewter
Warm Grey Flannel
Smokey Mauve
And maybe Black Mahogany for the front door
I would keep the trim white.

What do you all think? Am I completely nuts for even thinking about it?

How about a dark gray/black exterior with a chartreuse door?
I love the look of a dark house, but it doesn't really work well here in south Florida - the cooling bill in the summer would be through the roof.
Hmm. I guess the soft grays would work and then you could go crazy on the door.
Perhaps a light aqua for the house or is that too golden girls?
If it were me doing the painting, I might go with the Amethyst Haze for the house color: I think it would go well with the Black Mohagany (a nice contrast). In the end, you should do what you like best.
