I kind of like the colour of the brick on the side. I can't discern Pheidippides' 'redish flecks,' to me it just looks yellow-beige but reminds me vaguely of some of our old industrial buildings.
It's not looking exciting, but it's not looking ugly either.

Given the neighbourhood and the design of the building, I do think the revised colours work better. In Pheippides' photo, it almost looks like the yellow brick traditional to the region.

Anything that is not EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) is a blessed relief.

We should really start a separate thread to discuss EIFS rather than hijacking this one ...

That strange dark coloured brick really brings out the blandness of the bland brick.

Is that brick or some kind of pre-cast or stucco? The effect is weird, like they ran out of the brick they were using on the front and had to switch to something else.
