What colors of house paint attract dirt dobbers?

Mollyismydog asked:


We are repainting the outside of our house. It is now light blue and covered (and always has been) with dirt dobbers. Our house guy told us blue attracts them. So we’re trying to decide on a color that won’t. He didn’t know what other colors attracted as well - do any of you guys know?

      I didn’t know colors attracted them. We have them and also other varieties of wasps and our house is light tan.

      I don’t think they care about color. I have had them on brick and on gray cement block.
