    TravelerI wonder who gets to choose the colour . Great choice ... imagine it purple with pink spots.. wouldn’t have been nearly as nice .

    Meaghan's TravelsInteresting fact- originally white paint was expensive so only rich people had white houses and the red paint which was cheaper was made by mixing ochre with oil. These days people stick to traditional colours so as not to rock the boat - no laws needed.
