Exterior Color Palette - help please!
Comments (3)I am a bit confused...are you going to paint your stucco?We have a bit of stucco on our house but when I picked the color I didnt go to a paint store, the stucco already came in the color I choose. One thing I do know is pick a color a bit darker than you think, being outside the color gets washed out. I am happy with the color now I have, but wasnt quite what I had in my mind....See MoreExterior color palette emergency
Comments (18)A vote for Briarwood! It relates nicely to both the red and black of the brick in a way the others dont. I think a color needs to have a certain amount of "oomph" to it to stand up natural materials like brick, stone, wood.] I was going to say what looks dark in a small paint chip will look lighter on exterior of house (or than it would on interior wall).... your pic illustrates that I think. Pls dont touch the brick - as someone above pointed out it has wonderful variations in it. FYI - the whitewashed joanna gaines thing is very close to jumping the shark You know when cheap whitewashed pseudo- shiplap wall paneling shows up in Menards its all but got the fork stuck in. However, if you just HAVE to do it then it makes no sense to paint the siding now or choose colors based on an unknown possible future color of the brick....See MoreExterior Paint Color Help Please !
Comments (2)A light gray would work well with your roof and white siding. You just need to make sure that there is enough contrast between the roof and paint color (aka make sure they don't look like the same color). Blue and white would also work. I would stay away from warmer beiges and tans as they clash with your roof like the current paint color does....See MoreExterior paint palette- how to coordinate new construction choices
Comments (17)Molly D- I'm so glad to see your house- cocoon is a color we keep going back to for the main house color- I think I want to do a tone on tone trim color so I'll look at hardware for the trim maybe. Your house is beautiful thank you. Grand Finale Design thank you for the suggestion- I will look at that resource. Here are our first round of roof color choices and a photo of the color of stones we are doing the porch and front columns in- thoughts anyone? The front of the house will have stone and beam columns like the photo above- porch floor and steps will be stone - gray and brown colors Emmarrene- you bring up a great point- if you look at our house plan the roof is equal or more area than the siding- it's color is going to be a huge factor. Thank you! This is our first build so I am learning as we go along. I really appreciate everyone's help and advice!...See MoreUser
