Exterior paint colors??

7 years ago

Suggestions on a Florida ranch house color scheme...... More curb appeal to be added just starting out.... 12" large numbers and modern wood planter going on blank wall.... Also adding horizontal wood modern fence. Want to go more modern. First picture is existing color "granite Boulder Behr".

Hey Tim. I gave an accidental vote for the first option, but I much prefer the fifth option over all the others. The lighter blue and the grey complement each other better than the other combinations in my opinion. I think the darker blue and the green are a bit too vibrant to go with either the grey or the white. They almost feel a bit outdated to me. The lighter blue, on the other hand, is more subtle and refined while still being colorful. I could even see a slightly less colorful blue in its place but I like this one a lot. And though I'm the biggest fan of the color white, the grey also feels more refined in this case. Good luck with the paint job!

Here is a link to some of the schemes they recommend that may give you some inspiration: https://www.davinciroofscapes.com/blog/exterior-color-schemes-autumn/ You can color match to Sherwin Williams brand paint.

Yea it is confusing with the rendering. Sorry about that! The rendering is simply for house design reference. I notated what material is on what part of the house for help in what color should be put where. I’ve read that you’re supposed to use the same color on the same materials. Not sure if that rule is one to follow or not.
