Why the hate for salmon?? I'm rather partial to it myself. ;)

I think salmon is anti tropical. Looking around Santo Trafficjam it seems like one of the most popular colors here but I think tropical colors are more fitting for this environment.

Blues are the colors of the sky and the sea.

The contractor wants to use semi-gloss oil based paint.

So your contractor knows that cleaning will be important. But I really like RR's idea about the kids doing the artwork. The creativeness, the bonding, each one telling a story. Perhaps a section that they can re-do each year as they get older and learn?

Could be some wonderful and creative paintings. Just what a school should be about.

Good idea RR.

blue is a calming colour for older children but a tranquilizer for young children.

I think Bob would make a great Telemarketing guy, great rebuttals..LOL...Overall, I would play around with that site after you upload the building photo to it, see how it looks in whatever colors you want...Thats your best bet...Then, post it here and see what we all think...Is their a vote index on this site?? Maybe if I have some time later I will do that since you posted the building photos..

Come on Ringo, they all say that until we leave enough rope to hang ourselves....I just had to throw Antonia out of my bird room, she was taking out the newspaper and replacing it with a Plastic drop cloth..Not only that, But taped it in place...What!!??? Thats disgusting!! how do you change that I asked.. This happened to be for my Pigeon Shelby, i need to use newspaper so I can duh! change the paper...His droppings are normal, not like a wild pigeon so its not such a mess as you would think..Bottom line, we discussed all of this when we moved into our new place..See, I got that "ITS UP TO YOU HONEY STUFF TOO"..BAM!! its a setup guys!! Bob has been setup..LOL

Have you explained the idea and possibilities to her? You said that she left the color up to you. YOU get to make the call. :)

I don't disagree. It's you decide dear, and then why the hell did you pick that colour.

Well because we plan on plants a lot of trees and flowering plants around the school I don't think green or dark blue would be good.

The current school is two tone blue. Maybe I'll stick with the same colour scheme, but I's rather something new.

I would suggest yellow as you have done what the biggest demonstration in this country wanted..... more educational facilities. The campaign's colour is yellow and will send a victorious message albeit it was achieved by your goodself, Bob.
