Bernth Uhno recently bought and repainted a house that had been empty since 1981.
He swapped the old, flaking yellow paintwork that the house had been covered in for decades, for a more vibrant shade of orange at the top of the building, which turns gradually lighter and more yellow towards the bottom.
However his taste proved too radical for local councillors who argued his colour scheme was too outlandish and ordered him to repaint it in a more suitable shade. "The colour scheme is not Swedish," Anders Steen, a Centre Party politician who is chair of the town's building committee said, adding that in Sweden people tended to stick to one colour for their homes.

I think that's rather attractive. It couldn't have been easy to do either.
I've never seen a sunburst finish on anything but a guitar. That looks awesome!
Yeah, guitars and cars but not on a house. I like it.
I like it! More houses should be painted as creatively.
There is basically no normal people who understand where the bugger that politican is coming from.
It could be that he is refering to the color "Falu-röd" which is an extremly common red color but that would only fly if the house was in the middle part of the country.
