Interesting choice
Neutral Depends on context
What it really means
Often polite doubt. Calling your choice interesting can mean the speaker would not have chosen it themselves, or quietly thinks it is a mistake. Said with real warmth and questions, it can be genuine curiosity.
Chinese explanation
常是礼貌的质疑。说你的选择"有意思"，多半表示对方自己不会这么选，甚至觉得你选错了。语气热情、还追问细节时，才可能是真的好奇。
Example conversation

A: You wouldn't have done it, then?
A：我把卧室刷成了黑色配荧光绿。
B：这选择挺有意思。
A：你是不会这么选，对吧？
