This turd seems to be following the lead of its neighbor Hotel Van Zandt by going dark instead of clowny orange and earth tones. That's the best option IMO. The north facing windows are trimmed with bright barn red on a black wall, and it looks nice - or at least better than awful.
Yeah I definitely like the dark colors on this better than terracotta earth-tones that that I figured we were gonna get. The red accents look nice too, as long as they are used sparingly. I'm still curious about how the "Eddie Van Halen guitar" patterns are going to be handled. These photos are from last weekend.
Yeah, it definitely seems like they're not quite done with the color - or at least I hope so. It is looking better for now, which is good. Thanks for the photos, guys!

I don’t like it, but I don’t dislike it either. The pop of color and the interesting metal and color patterns are a nice touch that does elevate it from trash to... not quite trash.
