I'm wondering if the siding is too light to fit with the rest of the color scheme

The wall here only has one coat of paint and I'm wondering if it is too light a pink. I grabbed a latex paint that was used for one of my 1:1 house bathroom, but full scale makes things look darker than they do in 1:12 scale. I'm not sure whether to do a darker version of the pink or not at this point.

Ummmmm hard to tell. Sometimes cameras/computers change colours a fair bit, but I think a darker shade would look a little less stark. The timber is a warm colour as well as darkish, and I kinda think maybe a pink a shade or two darker may look good. You could paint a sheet of card and hold it up against the timber so you dont have to paint the actual house until you are sure.

the detail on your house is amazing! I agree with Shannon can you have the left over paint tinted a darker shade? again Im so impressed with your house it's lovely!

Thank you both for the honest feedback! After staring at it for the past few days, I came to the same conclusion. At least I've only done this one side, thus far. I think it should be painted a darker pink with perhaps a bit of purple in it.

I suppose that's one of the downsides of re-using leftover materials we have sitting around the house - sometimes things just aren't a good fit. I think my little one and I will have to stop at our local paint store later today and pick up some color swatches and see what looks good against the house. :)
