Struggling for weeks on exterior paint color. Please HELP

Comments (10)Green, Blue and Red are all out I'm afraid. The house was sage green when it was first built and it blended it with the surroundings too much as we are literally backed up against the wood with wilderness out our back door. My husband had it stuccoed then years ago and it came out an pale yellow color which wasn't what he thought he was getting. Now it just blends in with the cream color houses all around us. We need to not stick out like a sore thumb in this older neighborhood we are in, but yet give the house some visual clarity so its more easily noticed and stands apart from the neighbors with a darker tone. Red doesn't go at all with what we've done on the inside and isn't our thing, and while I love blue and use a lot of it inside with teals and aquas, we want the exterior to be a stronger neutral...maybe a mid to darker tone tan. I don't have access in this little town to SW or BM paint chips so am hoping to get some ideas for when we get into the city later this week and I will grab some paint chips then....See MoreEXTERIOR PAINT COLOR FAIL!

Comments (6)Thank you both for responding! It’s Sherwin Williams bright white. I really thought the stone was going to be more white than cream. I was thinking about trying to find a warmer shade of white, but scared of the yellowish tint it could have. I’m horrible with picking colors!...See MoreOld Farmhouse Exterior Paint Color - Help Please!!
Comments (10)Thanks for your ideas! Here are five samples we put up today. You may need to zoom in to differentiate. From left to right: *Hawthorne Yellow (BM) *Banana Cream (SW) *Weston Flax (BM) *Yellow Essence (C&K) *Oyster White (SW) Thoughts?? I'm leaning toward banana cream or weston flax I think ... As you can see we are in the middle of scrapping & priming so things look at little shabby! We are also still in the midst of finishing our front porch. Projects, projects! I love the idea of a blue door. How about shutters? Yellow house White trim Blue door ..... shutters??...See MoreMilano Doors
