I'm doing the same thing!! I wish people would comment because it's a big decision:). I've been researching gray's...pussywillow by SW, Benjamin Moore galveston gray (too dark for my taste but people say it's a good one), Harbor Gray...good luck to you

Thank you!! Shoji white looks a little beige-y on the sample card, which is why I was thinking origami white, but I def should paint a bigger sample swatch. Outside it will look lighter, but I def don’t want it yellow-ish creamy.

We are thinking about having the beams and post painted to look like wood. it will all be wrapped in hardy which we chose for the easy maintenace. My husband has been researching techniques how to get the wood look. We’ll go ahead n paint all the trim white similar to what we already have with white gutters and keep the white trim on the windows. He’s also researching stsining the brick instead of painting. Do you think a gray color would look good? SW light french gray or go darker? Thank you!

@amanda, what I don't like about the color now is that it is brown...I dislike all shades of brown. @chloebud yes, I am looking for options that go with our roof/brick and windows which is called "santone" from Andersen. ..it's like a beige colour. The gray/green is an interesting option for sure. @Patricia Colwell oh yes of course, not considering painting brick at all...when I said we are painting it all, I just meant the already currently painted areas. Are there any warm grays that would go with the brick/roof etc?
