Aries are anything but boring. You like to make a striking first impression wherever you go, and your sense of style has that same theatricality. When given the choice between a boring beige and something more eye-catching, you'll always choose the color that stands out. It's important for you to express your sense of individualism and get people talking, so a bold red house is the best way to embody your extroverted spirit.

Taurus: Sage Green

While you do prefer white and beige for your indoor decor, a mossy shade of green for the exterior speaks to your love of nature. This color is also neutral enough to appeal to your overall aesthetic and serve as a backdrop for your gorgeous plants.
