    What is it about this combination that has the ability to make you think of 1950s adorable style and tropical Havana getaways? The pink that’s not quite pink coupled with a stark white buddy balance the warm with the cool and creates a look that’s always fresh and always on trend.

    Whatever color direction your tastes lie, there’s a tried and true – or an unexpected! – combo of hues that is all set to speak to you and transform the exterior of your very own dream home.
