What color did you paint your coop?

Good morning! Lets talk paint colors!
What color did everyone paint the outside of their coops?
Feel free to post a picture!

My husband built me a chicken coop for my ladies and I still need to paint it. Looking for some inspiration!

I matched the house colors.

Matching to the house is a good idea!

Mixed coop is barn red. My 4 pre-built came painted and stained. I have 1 Grey and 3 brown. The rest of my coops are unpainted

How many coops do you have, exactly?

My coop is olive green.

2 converted stalls, several cages/broody pens (which mostly will be gone when I build the next 4 or 5 pen building), 4 prefabs, 1 large coop and 2 small bantam pens. Used to have one more, but racoons made that one a fish barrel so it's not used anymore.

I might do a yellow on the outside of my planned pens. Or yellow with purple trim. Something different. Only bummer would be I know they'll spray poop all over it

Chickens can poop 3 feet up a wall with no known way on how they managed it.

When I painted my coop last year I wanted to match my house's colors (which are kind of like Dobie's) but when I went to the home depot paint department looking at swatches, they asked me what I was painting and rapidly directed me over to the livestock-safe paints that only came in two colors, red and white. They were worried about what might happen if the chickens somehow got up and pecked at the other paints on the exterior. So I went with white. Not knowing much about paints myself, I've been nervous about exploring anything else but that paranoia of mine may be needless.
