Beige is all the rage when it comes to painting a house in New Orleans.
That’s according to a story in this week’s CityBusiness by reporter Emilie Bahr.
Since Katrina, flesh-toned houses have been springing up in a city known for colorful – and sometimes outlandishly so – homes.
Apparently, the beige trend, which has infected Uptown, Old Metairie and high-end condos of the Central Business District, is upsetting some New Orleanians who prefer a spicier palette.
Realtor Cynthia Sciortino of Prudential Gardner Realtors said she’s noticed the “beige trend” taking off in the New Orleans area within the past five years.
“Basically, it’s a fairly inoffensive color, easy to paint over, makes decorating very easy and generally no one has an objection,” Sciortino said. “In my opinion, it is rather lackluster and everyone has it.”
