Need help with exterior paint...thinking green but not too green!
Comments (1)Maybe you already have the perfect color on the siding and only need to change the colors of the trim. Sage green shutters and a red front door, with the red tilting towards orange, not blue so that it blends with the yellow-brown of the bricks. OR, Maybe a shade of gray for the siding that tilts toward brown, which I guess would be a taupe color....See Morelight Grey-Blue-green paint colour in Australia

Comments (6)I'm trying to find a Medium (not too dark, not too light) Grey exterior paint that doesn't have blue, green or brown undertones. Does one exist ? When it comes to architectural color, there is no such thing as undertones so you need to think about color differently. Every color belongs to a hue family including whites and grays. Here's an example of what that looks like. There's nothing hidden or "under" anything. You don't want blue, green, or brown. That means you should be looking at grays from the yellow to green-yellow hue family. The reason is grays, near neutrals, from this region of the hue family spectrum are most often perceived as being "just gray" with no discernible factor of hue. You are using Dunn-Edwards. Excellent choice. Dunn-Edwards is one of the few paint brands that lists a Munsell hue, value, chroma color notation in its fandeck. Get one of their fandecks. Another example of where to find Dunn-Edwards color notations --- try this, Google "Muslin DE6227 LRV" and you'll see the color notation is included in the meta data. Handy. All you have to do is look for grays with a hue family designation of Y or GY. Here's what that looks like. A gray with a hue family around 5Y or 6Y is a good place to start. Make sure the last number (with the hot pink arrow) is below 1.0 - this is chroma and the lower the chroma the more likely the color of gray will appear "neutral"....See MoreLooking for a grey paint with green undertones for exterior
