Exterior colors dillemma, on green cast roof!
Comments (3)What color is the roof? They look very different in the two pics. Is the roof going to change? If it is indeed green - dont be afraid of it or try to pretend its not there - it WILL be seen and it will affect how the colors on the rest of the house look.. There are indeed greys/greiges/beiges that would play nicely with a green-gray roof, you just have to be cognizant of undertones and find the right one that does not fight with your roof color, but flatters and complements it. (FWIW Ive always been a fan of yellowy-cream-white trims with gray or gray green, not that stark white - can those doors, eaves etc be painted? Theres just something about yellows and grays that are just beautiful together. IMHO, a house always looks best when the roof is embraced and appreciated and considered as part of the color scheme. Some ignore the roof, but then end up with mismatched looking house. Try to find paint chips that best capture the "green gray" of the roof and that can help you zero in on some possible colors that would work well with it....See MoreI’m ready to paint over the tan & sage green wall with white or gray
Comments (9)Yes I do love the Greek Villa color best. I am trying to avoid painting our trim so I worry the Greek villa is a little whiter and then the current trim will look dirty. We are going to try painting just the kitchen with greek villa first and see if we like it....See MoreFYI: LowE 366 has strong green tinge / tint / cast
Comments (18)@Mia Smyth Recent commentary from another poster: https://www.replacement-windows.com/windowbb/viewtopic.php?t=1555 I actually have both the Sun Coat and now the Sun Coat Max. All my windows face South and West and the sun is very strong. I live in CA. The 2 sliding glass doors I purchased about 4 years ago have just the Sun Coat. Its terrible I continually find myself closing the black out drapes. The room is hot and very cold at night. I am happy that I ordered the same Milgard Thermally Improved windows for my entire home with the Sun Coat Max. We have not had them installed yet although I did place the window in the living room on the floor and can tell I will not have to keep closing the drapes and hopefully will not need window coverings at all. I can definitely see the difference. I hear they make a room more comfortable and I can see why....See MoreColor Cast dilemma. Everything is green!
Comments (61)the "cabinet designer" is being paid... by the cabinet store. you are a paying customer, and this is an expensive project. don't take advantage of them of course, but don't be afraid to change your mind. when it comes to picking colors: unfortunately sometimes what you really want just might not work in a space. I wanted my bathroom to have white countertops and teal tile, but the natural lighting in there is too blue for that so I compromised. as far as choosing a peachy-red undertone paint for your grey room: you said you'd be worried about it in the winter. I think it would look lovely -- warm and cozy. we're not suggesting anything with a noticeable peach undertone....See Moreamysrq
