so here's an odd question

Is there some sort of ordinance that you have to paint your house white? One odd thing that I noticed while visiting was that all of the houses were painted white. We're thinking of painting ours blue or green but I thought I'd ask here first.

Not that I know of. If you want to see some colorful houses go to north Omaha, and I mean colorful.

No ordinance, at least not that I know of. Growing up we lived right next door from a yellow house and two down from a green house.

There's a lot of blue houses in my parent's current neighborhood.

No, there is no such city ordinance. Some new developments (SIDs) have CCRs (covenants, conditions & restrictions) that may limit the color pallette, which is typical in new developments around the country. Your home in Benson will be under no such restrictions.

I know by my house there are at least 4 houses painted deep purple.

Cool, are they playing "Smoke On the Water" really loud on their stereos too?

I hope there’s no fire in the sky.

I swear I can count on one hand the number of non white houses I saw while driving around.

It largely depends on what neighborhood you are living in.

Most houses in my parent's neighborhood are painted earth tones (not that that is any better).
