But while this iconic row (which you may recognize from "Full House") features an Easter egg assortment of colors, some of the city's more interesting Victorians come in a moodier hue.

With Halloween approaching, California Home + Design rounded up some of San Francisco's darkest, most stunning architectural gems, painted black, blue, green and gray. We think the dark palette provides a cooler, more seductive approach to the style, and proves that black is the new...well, black.

Check out a few favorites in the slideshow below, and see the rest over at California Home + Design:
