Help! House colors to work with stone- siding, roof, trim, etc

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Looking for thoughts on exterior design colors for this home. The yellow/orange stone will remain, but a new roof will be added (currently a burnt orange color) and the siding (currently an olive green in need of TLC) and trim (currently a dark brown) will be painted. Would love guidance and thoughts on color options! The grays/shark blues are what we love, but can't visualize if or how that would go. Thoughts? Recommendations?

What color is your door going to be? Also are you doing stark white windows? BTW: In the elevation drawing I agree with you that horizontal looks better. The problem is it's hard to match a red brick color.

We have a bedford stone house with chocolate brown soffit, fascia and gutters. The windows are trimmed in white. I am trying to figure out what color to paint the concrete lapboard siding. I really like blues, but I'm not sure what shade would work. But, I am open to other colors as well. Please let me know your ideas!!

I would prefer to paint it all one color. But, the trim on the overhang and the columns are bright white vinyl. They won't take paint. I'm stuck with those items being white. The trim areas around the garage doors can be painted the same color. My goal is to make it recede, not be the first thing that you see as you look at the property as a whole and be complimentary to the larger house structure.
