The door of number 4 has been repainted.
It was green before and it is green now. The new green is understood to be a different green.
The distinction
The previous green was the green used on the terrace since the doors were done together in 2009, when four households bought a tin between them and there was some left over.
The new green is lighter, with what has been described as a blue in it.
Two residents have walked along to compare it against number 6, which retains the original. Both report a clear difference. A third resident says she cannot see one and has been shown twice.
“It is his door. He can paint it what he likes. I would only say that we all did ours the same and now we have not.”

The position of number 4
The owner of number 4 has said, when asked, that the shop in Inverness did not have the old one, that he stood there a while, and that this was the nearest.
He has offered to do it again if anybody minds.
Nobody has said they mind. Three people have said they do not mind in a way that was noted.
He is also, it has been pointed out, the only person on the terrace who has painted a door at all since 2009.
