What color did you paint your coop?

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.
As long as the paint isn't flaking, it should be safe. The red we us isn't livestock paint and we haven't had birds peck at it in over 10 years
 
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 will add in my defense, several of the cages are used currently because of the fish barrel evacuation. Not before then

One coop is red and the main coop and another smaller coop is wood colored.




No need to defend, there are others here with chicken villages. 🤣
I know several people have multiple set up, I meant the cages specifically. Unfortunately my kennels are getting a work out now instead if just for travel
