Madge lives in the flat down stairs and her son picked the colour.
He's an artist and is very sensitive about colour.
The flat used to be a Wedgewood Blue.

I'd move if I were you, some things are just too hideous to contemplate.

Brilliant! "Pool liner blue" is an excellent name for the colour.
Surely OSM should stay put.
Inside the house is the only place from which the outside is not visible!
Jane wants to EAT it ...

Search Dulux.com!

Oh crikey.
Ooh, now that is indeed Bloooooo!!! Yikes!!
