I'd worry

about it clashing with the green in the scenery. I commonly see painted backdrops where the green is too bright causing a clash with the scenery green which looks really strange to me so I'm guessing the same thing could happen with the facia.  But that's just me. I prefer a neutral gray.

You can use the search box (upper right corner of your screen) to search for "fascia color" and there are 8 to 10 prior threads on this topic. After studying them, I settled on a color very close to Southern Pacific Lark Dark Gray, in semi-gloss latex. Mine is an SP layout, so this fascia color "talks" to some of my diesels and, as Rick says, doesn't compete with the scenery. However, it's still light enough that black accessories, like throttle jacks and cup holders, stand out.

Too Bright...

...for my taste!

wow

That is a bright green!  As mentioned, lots of threads on this topic already exist, and many have very helpful photos. Blending with the dominant color of your scenery, or choosing a color that goes largely unnoticed, black or grey tones, seem to be the best practices.

Fascia Color

I use a dark green color for my fascia. I'll be honest iI found it on the mark down rack, from $33 to $5.

But I'm happy with it.

Despite all the advice that this color is better than that one.

Or this color will blend better with the scenery.

Or that color is more neutral.

Etc., etc., etc.

It's your railroad and if you like the color you've chosen - then all the rest of the world's advice doesn't apply to YOUR layout.

Have fun.

Fascia Color

-- From my art school days... use brightness/intensity sparingly, only to draw attention to that which you want attention drawn to.

Viewers may have difficulty seeing beyond the fascia. Try something off-gray, dark if you want it to recede into the background.

Fascia Color

I used a medium brown (earth color) in a satin finish.  It blends well with the scenery and doesn't call attention to itself.

As some other people have said - it's your layout.  You only have to please yourself.

I used a dark brown semi gloss, I think it looks good with the scenery. It has held up good over the years. I use white lettering along it for station, roads, grade crossing and river names.

Wait and See

You won't know for sure how the fascia color will work until there's some finished scenery in place.  Once you can view the scenery and fascia together you can decide if the initial color choice was successful.  The process of completing scenery most often requires repainting the fascia anyway, so you really aren't out any extra work.

it depends on what you are trying to create

If you are going for the museum look, then flat black, that is what must museums use.  Just about anything could work, depending on the scenery.  I am going flat black, but I plan on having a dark room, with the only lighting being right over the layout.  That just won't work for everyone.

Fascia Color

I use Hunter Green from rustoleum.  I prime first with tinted oil base primer.  Then Hunter Green.  

Green

When the New Hope and Ivyland painted their passenger cars bright red the color was dubbed "Oh Boy Is That Red".

Your fascia appears to be "Oh Boy Is That Green".

"What say you all?"    I say

I say go with it. You can always weather it if it turns out too bold when the layout is finished......DaveB 

I went though a number of

I went though a number of colors on the fascia of my previous layout started with "John Deere Green", then chocolate brown, and finally "Arizona Stone.  The good news is if you don't like the color you can easily change it to one that you like.
