I feel like blue is actually pretty historical to the era of the building. Many people forget past buildings were often quite colourful largely because most of our oldest pictures are black and white renditions of those buildings. Like the marble statues of greece often being painted with vibrant colours, rather than the plain white marble we see them as today.

Wellllll dark green was actually more historically used, at least in hamilton, as it matched the shutters which were often the same colour.. but truthfully the dark green was used more with brick not stone..

The dark green probably would have matched the roofs better but I will have to get up close and see how it looks overall with the blue. Let's keep in mind those copper parts will eventually be bright pale green once their patina develops, might look a bit odd then..

In all fairness though historically these windows were most likely white or ivory.

A light green might have been a better alternative - it would have eventually perfectly matched the roof dormers.

To be fair it went from a classy lady to an old prostitute to a toothless dirty old homeless lady to a woman with dentures in a rehab clinic
