Need Help Selecting Exterior Color For Siding and Trim
Recently purchased this home and I’m updating inside and out. I’m hoping that the power wash will boost the appeal, but the colors just seem off to me. Ideas?

Need help choosing exterior paint for siding and trim
Comments (7)SW Greek Villa (trim?) and SW Tree Branch. I don't want my siding to be too dark and am afraid to not have enough contrast if one color is too light to go with Greek Villa for trim. It is crunch time since the siding will be complete within the next 2 weeks. Thank you for your help! Looks like you have the program that allows you to paint the color on the siding. That is a big help! :=)...See MoreNeed help with exterior colors for siding, trim, windows--Thanks!!
Comments (2)We are getting ready to replace roof, siding windows. Using hardie board, and want to stick with a factory color for at least the siding (could paint the trim ourselves a different color). I'm leaning towards cobblestone for the board and batten siding, my husband likes contrylane red. Charcoal gray roof or brownish? Bronze windows or off white?

Comments (1)With the windows and garage doors I would probably go with the same color for the fascia and gutters. I think white siding would look too stark in the gable ends. Something in the taupe family to bridge the dark trim/windows and the lighter brick would look nice.

Comments (17)Thanks Groveraxle! Do you think that the last renderingwould look good if I carried WRC trim all around the windows and re did trim on the window grids in WRC trim boards. Then paint the soffits and front rafter in dark brown? The surface of the posts is much different from any composite decking that I’ve seen. it seems more like gelcoat on a boat. Very hard and smooth. I’m sure it could be sanded primed and painted, but then I’m into a maintenance battle around all those cables that can’t be removed without cutting the cable. I think its like fissfiss said. I made a mistake/compromise. I will say that I’m very happy with the railing while on enjoying the deck, but it does look out of place from the front view....See MoreAnn Twin

6 years agoI would pressure wash, update the roof, square up the garage opening's corners, paint and replace the aged shrubbery with new landscaping. Beef up the porch posts and railing a more farmhouse style.

If your budget allows, possibly do a metal roof (or at least over the porch); that will drive the follow-on decisions. Then, BEFORE you do anything else, remove the overgrown shrubs in front of the porch to open it up. It looks like you have siding. I'm not a proponent of trying to paint that, and not sure that you want to reside your house... so if you are going to work with the current siding, I'm partial to a dusty blue with some crisp white trim/gutters/garage/porch -- and you can go for a more dramatic hue of blue for the door.
