My neighbor said my new shed looks like a giant toaster

I was showing my dad the 8x10 foot shed I just finished painting a bright white, and he was quiet for a minute. Then he goes, 'I mean, it's nice, but with that color and the flat roof, it kinda looks like a giant toaster sitting in your yard.' I laughed, but now I can't unsee it. It's made me rethink if I should have gone with a more traditional barn red or maybe added some trim. Has anyone else had a backyard structure get a weird comparison that made you second-guess it?

Add some dark trim around the top edge to break up the shape. My garage got called a shoebox once and a little paint fixed it right up.

Lean into it. Giant toaster is a way better conversation starter than just another boring shed.
