Twenty ways this
place could look.

A burnt amber, a green and a wood brown describe the building. These are twenty complete answers to what could turn them into an identity — five measured colours each, in fixed roles. The argument for each lives in the foundation; the page is the palette.

Six of these seven already have a close match on the property. Burnt Umber is 0.62 from the big rug in the Live Room — nearer than two colours can sit and still read as two. Sage is the one that is genuinely new.

The ten palettes built from the shortlist remain live, with their full role slots and sources, at the archive. Their colour sets, at a glance:

16 directions · 80 colours · every one a measured reading off a real object · 37 from the the shortlist · 0 invented. No direction contains two colours a reader could not tell apart, and no two directions share more than two colours — the build fails if either stops being true.

Bands are equal by design; hierarchy is the order — dominant first, ground last. The colours this property does not have yet are at Recommended. Printed colour is close, not exact: deep reds, dark browns and high-chroma golds shift most on an office printer.
