The preview made me check out some of the Greek islands on Google Earth. Almost all the houses and buildings are whitewashed with the trim all basically the same shade of blue. I get the white part as it probably helps reflect the heat, but why all blue for the trim across most of the many islands. I can just see walking into the local pain store and opening the color catalog and it's just two colors. White and what looks to be either Cobalt or Medium Blue.

That's "PAINT store".

I thought when you registered on the site you could edit your posts?

That's the AV Club. As for the blue, no idea- probably just looks cool. The plates in Greece and Greek restaurants tend to be blue and white also.

D'oh! *smacks head* Blue and white are the colors of the Greek flag. Now it makes more sense. Captain Obvious was out back taking a smoke break when I was pondering this.
