I notice you opted not to include the whole line of data which says 2170 hours..but only 58 days!!

While St. Johns has 1512 hours but five times a many clear days at 270.

I could speculate since both cities are at the same latitude that St. John's may have more of its clear days in winter, when days are only 8 hours long, than Seattle where truly clear days happen mostly July through September when the day can be nearly 18 hours long.

Average total hours with sunshine each year:

Seattle: 2170

St. John's: 1512

So, perhaps.

Newfoundland avg sunny days: 269

That's why the Nordic colors (as in IKEA) are beige, brown with a bit of deep red thrown or dark blue thrown in. Those colors look good in cloudy weather. The kind we have here. Right now. Most of the time.

Ideally, the best color schemes for houses, especially those with verdant bushes and plant growth, is either iris with white shutters and woodwork, or perwinkle blue and white shutters and woodwork - - - bother make an excellent colora arrangement.

I tried to add purple trim to our backyard shed, and my spousal critter made me paint over it. Sad times.

I've always promised myself that, if I ever own a home, it will have a red front door.

@15,

As I have relatives living in Denmark, I feel qualified to say that most Danish residences are fugly and bland. My mother's cousin, who was an advertising executive, lived in an apartment building that would make the Soviets blush.

But we could use some more vibrant color around here.

I can see that Jeff would like to fuck who that chick is with. I also find Mike McGinn very attractive.
