HELP!!! Exterior trim color help needed!
Comments (5)Hi kled, I really think - especially with such a large lovely structure - that this is a job for a professional designer. Having gotten that out of the way, I recently replaced all my fascia (and replacing gutters too) which was painted a dark red. It looked okay on my red-orange brick house, but I wanted something lighter colored. I finally chose a sand-tone color. But, how did I choose? Well, I took a photo of a wall that was fairly representative, in decent light. And then I looked at it on my computer to see if the colors seemed pretty accurate. Then I loaded the photo into a graphics program and "selected" the red fascia and gutters and experimented with substituting with different colors - via the graphics program. I'd like to tell you that I'm completely happy with the sand-tone color I ended up with, but the jury is still out on that. But, I think I'll like it (Once I get all the gutters & downspouts installed and trim painted). There are so many ways to go with color - really hard to advise someone else....See MoreNeed help with exterior trim colors
Comments (3)Thanks for your help, Sylvia. I like the idea of the bronze color framing the house. I never thought of it that way. Would you do the same bronze color on the Windows? If so, what about the wood siding on the back of the house? The brick can been seen at the bottom of the wood siding. Here's a picture of Urbane Bronze I painted on the trim. And another I found on the net.... Thanks again for your help....See MoreNew windows need help with exterior trim colors
Comments (1)I think I would match the trim to the color of the windows. Doesn't have to be wide trim....See MoreNeed help on exterior colors...paint the brick? Different trim color?
Comments (0)We just moved into our new house and I do not like the exterior color choices at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I do not like how brown it is. Thoughts on what to change to brighten it up. My thoughts are to paint the brick in Ballet White. Thank so much!...See MoreRelated Professionals
