I wouldn't paint the stone. It's kind of busy though so maybe best to stick with a single color for the siding and trim. Can you pull a color from the stone or mortar to coordinate?

I would say it already matches the mortar. Thanks for suggestion

Lori, including the stone veneer?

It looks to me like your stone is warm, rich, and mellow, and the pale color on the trim and siding is a cool and disappearing element. The stone needs something to Anchor it and complement it. See if you can pick one of the darker colors in the stone, Maybe a warm, deep grey, and then paint the front door red again, but a dark blue-red, something like Chinese lacquer, or maybe a British racing green, a green so dark that it looks almost black.. Beautiful house!

Thanks Sylvia, you mentioned a warm deep grey... but I didn't follow how you suggested to use this color.

thanks again

Yep. That's what the Romabio product is for.

Using the same color, you could go several shades darker and use that color for the dormer, front door area, the peaks, and the garage and any secondary doors.

These colors will be custom mixed colors. I absolutely never recommend custom mixed paint colors exterior unless you have no choice and they are on the lighter end of the value spectrum.

You don't have a choice and luckily the vinyl you are matching is on the lighter end of the spectrum.

I prefer to specify stock paint colors that have been properly measured for LRV and tested for light fastness, etc. You don't get that scientific backup with custom mixed colors.

Thanks Lori,

I have not heard of Romabio, but after visiting the website see they specialize in lime wash applications. Are you suggesting to get this classico lime wash paint color matched to the siding or the standard Romabio Flat masonry paint color matched?

I am new to this, can I do this at a local paint store?

Thanks

One more thing, if I color match the stone to the siding, what about the deck color? I am planning on new railings, and maybe replacing the flooring on the deck to a trex/pvc material. Thought of wrapping the columns in cedar.

Romabio Domus II call them for where to buy, how-to info.

The deck color on the front should be the same color as the body of the house. Deck color on the back can be different if you want.

The "coloumns" aren't really columns. They're the supports for the decking and as a result there's no reason to highlight them or enhance them with cedar. They're functional in the color hierarchy which means they should blend in, not stand out.
