What color for exterior house trim of 1920s Florida house?
Comments (2)Thanks, it is true that the sun in Florida influences the color palette! We live in the city of St Pete a few blocks from a lake, so it doesn't necessarily need to be beachy, and the houses on each side of us are yellow brick and light khaki. We do want to find a green-blue-gray for the body of the house, but a shade that is lighter than Restorative may be better given the heft of the house as you say. We are thinking the Sherwin Williams color "Valiant Blue" might be a better option. We don't want all of the window trim to be white, but instead want to find a color that will go well with the white sashes and grilles. We do like the haint blue porch ceilings, and if there is a way to incorporate this without it becoming too busy that would be great.

Comments (13)I am going to be the naysayer here. I love the cream, especially because of the age of the home. It looks more true to a heritage palette and shares the stage well with the gray. The white looks fine too. It's a safe option but a little more bossy. My home is a very light gray. It looks white. It does brighten it up but I myself having to wash it annually to keep it looking nice. It tends to show a light layer of dirt/dust. For practical reasons, I also think the creamy color would be more forgiving. I like the white. I love the cream. It reminds me of what I see when visiting Colonial Williamsburg. Good luck with your decision. It's beautiful home....See MoreExterior Body AND Trim same color?
Comments (5)I found 3 examples that I find with curb appeal: Love the black body, the black trimmed windows and the gray accent. It accentuates the different angles. Next is this all gray one, which I like because it is simpler, softer and one shout of color will make it outstanding. Then this dark two toned combination is so sophisticated. Add a wood door and you have a winner. I haven’t come across a brown/black example that I like....See Moremelle_sacto is hot and dry in CA Zone 9/
