Looking for suggestions exterior colors
Comments (16)Okay have some virtuals done. Just a mash up of a variety of colors that I think would work with the roof. Double baquette is first. Your house is shaded, mine was not so it may look a different but I tried to duplicate best I could. Lighter tone from the roof This is fun. Key West and I think color! :) A yellow-green would look fabulous, IMO. But you have to really like this kind of color. Along the same lines, a deeper, richer yellow green like a Mossy Gold Key West pastel-y and colorful. I actually like how fresh and creme de menthe this Light Sage looks. Painting the gutters a darker color from the roof helps, IMO. Can leave white, but I think a darker color finishes the *edges* and makes the roof and body color a little more connected; gives a more cohesive feel overall. And you know that the color you're seeing on the monitor is only a loose representation of in-real-life colors. You have to use the virtuals as inpiration to finding actual paint chips/colors....See Morelooking for exterior upgrade suggestions

Comments (4)I think the brick and the windows need a good washing. The bushes are OK, but they have been pruned in to hard box shapes. Open them up a bit to a softer, more natural shape. Add a tall plant at the far right. I think you need to paint the trim and the window frames a pale beige, tan or khaki for more interest. The vestibule should be painted in the light trim color so it doesn't look like a dark hole. Paint the door an interesting color....See MoreLooking for suggestions to update home exterior
Comments (10)BM Nantucket Gray is a nice exterior color. Looks much brighter and "green" outside than the paint chip would suggest....See Morebpath
