Exterior paint and rock facade
Help! We need to paint the house and unfortunately the previous owners put a light gray roof on the house and it completely clashes with the 1980's rock facade. I am struggling with choosing a color. The current color is a light creamy beige with pink undertones? I HATE the mauve pink that I see in the shade! Any help would be welcomed. The neighbor to our left just painted a warm brown and the neighbors on the other side have a light yellow home. My gut says stick with light tan/greige but I keep being drawn to navy with white trim. We are in Florida, house faces west and gets full sun. FYI I am open to removing the planter and hedge.

Comments (5)Yes. Maybe medium gray on the roof. As for the paint, all the houses on my street that have been repainted recently are various shades of grey. I was hoping to not be exactly like everyone else which is why the shade of blue. We are in the western half of Washington state so generally mild weather with clouds but we don't have AC so maybe not such a dark roof. I agree gray would be the better choice though. (Although smoky summers might mean we need to consider getting AC.)...See MoreNeed help choosing exterior paint to coordinate with stone facade
Comments (1)I would remove the shutters. The windows are not right for them. I would paint the siding a green and the trim an off white. I would not out line the sections under the bay window. It looks busy. I would wrap the posts for a substantial look. I would also add a panel of windows to the garage door....See MoreHow to match exterior paint to existing rock facade or recolor rock?
Comments (4)I strongly recommend painting the stones if you don't like the pinks, it would create a big impact.. You have to use a water pressure washer adding some vinegar to clean and remove the grease, let dry for 24hrs, You will need an exterior acrylic primer & sealer for the first coat and 1 or 2 coats of exterior paint in the dark rich greige for the stones and much lighter for the walls creating a nice contrast with the roof. You should go to your local paint store for the perfect primer and paint to use for durability in your climat....See More

6 years agoI agree that a brownish - greige would help tie things together. Paint the trim a shade darker than the house and make the garage door match the trim.
I think this would look amazing on the front, if you are a clever and patient gardener.

Don't worry about the roof. It's totally neutral, pretty nondescript. Find something that complements the stone.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agothat middle wall is a perfect spot for a trellis bougainvillea
if doing warm colors, do the yellow variety 'lady Mary"..
if doing the house in shades of gray/white/black trim, pick the standard bright purples/magenta color
you could actually plant them to cover the stones if you want,,,or paint the stones and plant the trellis in the middle.
change that red mulching to black or brown. or go total florida and use the white rock.
