Need help picking neutral (whole) home interior paint color
Comments (101)Comedy of errors (only after we had a few drinks was it comedic) 1. We greatly underestimated the effort to paint textured walls, especially on the ceiling. That and we're 15 years older than many of the projects we've done the past. 2. Turns out we got the wrong color paint. I'm not sure why I had a different color paint stuck in my head and even though I checked color swatches I still got it wrong. And now that we're going to pay someone to do it I definitely want to make sure the color is right. Only after I came back to this post did I realize I gave the store the wrong color. We're going to suck it up and pay someone to do it which is good because that also includes trim and doors. Although now I have to take a week off of work. Good news: we can donate the paint to Habitat for Humanity ReStore....See MoreNeed help picking a paint color for master bath vanity please

Comments (9)@decoenthusiaste LOL! I regretted the 'modern farmhouse' when I wrote it. I think I mean a monochrome look, darker overall, with siding, trim and fascia all one color. I am just not into the white highlighter outline look so many are doing. Want to be ahead of the trend and stand out. However, I am so afraid to get it 'wrong.' We did choose a roof color that pulls all the brick colors together. It's an overall medium to darker gray, with hints of warmth and black through. We would ideally like to avoid coating the brick. We would consider after, if it looks bad. We would really like to keep it and roll with it. The garage doors will be converted to one larger door, but yes, there is brick between, with a strip of hideous siding above currently. All to be redone. Unfortunately, we are headed into winter and the siding color needs to be selected this week, or we push to next year...and we just don't want to do that....See MoreWe can’t pick exterior paint color. Stuck! Please help!
Comments (9)You are on the right track as far as pulling a color from the brick for the front door area. Use the same color on the garage doors. While you will need to sample, I think you're going to find the best color to be the color of your siding. The front door is perfect. The shutters would look good in a sage green similar to the color shown in the picture Patricia posted. You could probably go darker if you like a darker color. We used BM Nantucket Gray on our previous house. It is more green than gray, contrary to the name, and also looks more green than the blob below. Sunlight brighens up colors on exteriors. Also look at SW Evergreen Fog which is very popular....See Moremaddybeagle
