My neighbor painted his house a color that makes it look like a giant pumpkin
He went with this bright orange shade, said it was 'sunset glow' from the hardware store, but now the whole street calls it the pumpkin house. I tried to gently suggest a trim color to tone it down, but he just added dark green shutters, which honestly made it worse. Does anyone know a good way to talk to someone about a paint choice that's, well, a lot?

Try living next to a house painted the color of a mustard stain. My neighbor's place looks like it belongs on a hot dog. At least a pumpkin is festive.

Honestly, the dark green shutters just locked in the pumpkin theme for good, didn't it? Maybe @the_harper has a point about festive being better than a condiment, but that's a pretty low bar. The real question is, do you even say anything after someone doubles down like that? At this stage, he probably knows exactly what he's done and just doesn't care.
