So if the house to their right is painted "pale dusty mauve" and the house to the left is "pale dusty yellow" then their only options left are "pale dusty beige" or "pale dusty grey."

What's worse, is that most of the streets in each neighborhood have the same name. Cherry Blossom Street, Cherry Blossom Way, Cherry Blossom Court - and all the houses look similar. Very easy to get lost there.
Clone City? The only part of that place that sounds OK to me is the tile roofs. I like Terracotta tile.
