The color you erroneously refer to is probably Mizner pink which is prolific, mostly in Palm Beach County. It is hardly Pepto Bismol pink and in reality, is a soft shrimp-type color. That color is used in excellent taste as indicated by some very classy properties, i.e. The Boca Raton Hotel and Resort, Mar-a- Lago, Mizner Park, and many others including many local residences. The use of that color in southeast Florida is an indication of historic preservation, of which you probably aren't aware.

Today's trend in house colors is towards deeper, more intense colors, and not the boring white and beige colors. Browns, rusts, deeper blues, and greens are popular. So, get used to these types of colors. Like it or not, you will be seeing more of it.

80% of the people wear BLACK clothes about 80% of the time. This has been going on for about 15 years since the "grunge" movement began in Seattle, I believe. And it has spread like a disease to homes in Florida. Funny how young people start trends and oldtimers follow them like sad puppies.
