"Need help choosing a Shutter color"
Comments (15)Rusty red/ brown for the shutters. The green is a pretty color but is apropos of nothing---the color isn't found in the stone and it doesn't really set off the honey color of the stone at all. If you like green, perhaps a darker or more saturated hue would look better. what size area does your solar array cover? We are considering an array on the southwest facing roof plane of our home....See MoreWhat Exterior Paint Colors would you choose for our house?
Comments (3)I would not paint the brick. You take a no maintenance product and turn it into a long term maintenance issue. Deco has a good idea of beefing up the columns. If a new front door is not in the budget then paint the one you have and add a POP of color to the front of the house, drawing the eye to the entrance. None of your windows are appropriate for shutters. They would have to be so wide to cover the windows that they would not look right. If you're going to use white then use one color of white for the trim and the windows. If you use two different whites the one on the trim is going to end up looking dingy when seen with the windows. Your shingles are a brown so I would stay away from black. You could paint the trim taupe (brown/gray), sage green, etc. and leave the windows white. If you wanted to do a porch rail I would paint it the same color as the trim. New landscaping would of course also help.

Comments (4)Not knowing the exact shade of your peach/tan, I am showing you how a brown trim and several door & shutters colors might look. Notice that a color will look slightly different when paired with other colors. I recommend you use an online virtual paint program that most paint manufacturers have to compare and narrow your preferences....See MoreWhat color trim would you choose?
