I think bright colors can work great in colder climates to help liven up the place in winter.
Copenhagen is famous for it, for example.

It's not just buildings. When you see an orange car, it's likely that color. I even saw a dryer in that shade a few years back. It's become the socially acceptable shade of orange for whatever reason. It always looks more creamsicle than burnt to me though.

I saw yearsterday the building permits for the ARC house hotel (can't remember the brand) in East Deutschtown have been issued, so presumably ground is going to break there soon.
