Roof color for light yellow siding and blue shutters
Comments (24)Certainly! IRL slate has green flecks to it. My samples (larger ones where they have a few real shingles on a board vs. a tiny sliver) look as if fox hollow is way too light. Pewter looks too dark to my eye. Oyster Gray is supposedly "less blue" than Pewter. Pewter has flecks that are just slightly blue to them but it is not easy to detect. To me, it looks like on the samples I have that Fox Hollow has lots of the light colored flecks, oyster has a medium amount, and some of those same light flecks are on pewter but it is much darker. But apparently Oyster is really not a popular option and would require a trip to another place to buy the shingles vs. Home Depot. The only other one I kind of like is weathered wood. THere's a house down the road with yellow siding and a darker (like pewter I think) roof and I'm not super wild about it. It is a colonial, but has a wrap around porch so more visible roof, which might be part of it I guess. My colonial has simple rooflines, no porch overhang (no lower roof on main part of the house). I have a 2 car garage out the back of the house (drive around to it) and have a room off the side of the house visible from the street (a vaulted ceiling family room).

Comments (3)Do you happen to have pictures? Is your rental indefinite/long term? I think it's personal preference as to whether you keep your bedroom accent color purple or switch to blue. I think purple might look better with the grey and it would save you some money. If I were to do grey and blue, I would personally use navy. As for the floor, black will look okay with grey walls, but you will see every speck of dust and hair and fabric fiber. Probably not a big deal if it's temporary. Are you sure you want to keep the bright blue? While I love blue and use it everywhere at my house, I think I would get tired of bright Caribbean blue in my main living area. I'm not terribly talented at this stuff, but wanted to chime in and bump your post up to the top so someone else may be able to help....See MoreGray walls look light blue
Comments (21)Gray Screen belongs to the blue-green hue family. Specifically, it lives in the blue-green hue family over towards the blue hue family. It has a notation of 6.40 BG which tells us that Gray Screen is closer to blue than it is to green and that's how we know to expect blue overtones. There's nothing hidden or under anything. No visual gymnastics required when you have a color notation. It looks blueish because that's exactly what it is - what you're seeing, what has happened with the color in your space has absolutely nothing to do with undertones. The fact that it does look blueish in your space means you have a relatively balanced quality of light to work with. Which is a good thing. What colors can i incorporate to make the walls appear less blue? Any color from the same hue family neighborhood will make the wall color look less blue and more gray. Especially colors that have more chroma, are more colorful, have more saturation than Gray Screen. Any color from any other hue family will make Gray Screen look more blue. The farther away the hue family is from 6.40 blue-green, the more it will intensify the blueness. For example, you don't want to use red. To get the color you were going for, you'd have to look at near neutral grays that belong to the yellow/green-yellow hue family neighborhood....See MoreBrick stain color suggestions to go with beige vinyl siding?
Comments (8)I think I would like to split up the wall creating a top border at least 18" left as is. Then I'd like a reddish warmer color to the lower portion of the wall of bricks. (usual standard red brick color). I think it needs to be broken up with contrast colors. It will ground the home and bring some life to the neutrals. This will break up the height covering so much of the lower half of the home. Or..maybe BETTER yet.... .. remove 12" H in rows of brick, off the top and replace with a 'deeper depth' wood facing (compared to brick depth) .... to create a band of color above the lower brick. Maybe match the wood facing with the vinyl beige or a contrast color for the wood trim added ..... to create a larger space above the brick. Lower brick in a natural red brick color. The windows will not feel so cramped above the brick top edge if you match the beige vinyl color.. I think it will fool the eye. This will give you a needed dimension to a rather flat facade of the home. Adds some architecture and a visual interest....See MoreScarlett001
