Exterior 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 MoreSplit Level Exterior Help! Need Advice!
Comments (19)Just remove the shutters and see how that looks. I don't think painting windows with black is going to enhance the house--just adds another element and you do have a brown roof, not black. A much warmer white for the middle would work better with yellow stone and brown roof. Save $$$ for a beautiful landscape design to further beautify the house. But what you have is pretty nice right now. It's important in a newly purchased house to go a year before making landscaping changes so you can see how the plantings look in all seasons. It's great you have quite a few evergreens for year round color--and no leaves to rake!...See MorePlease help with exterior paint colors!
Comments (91)Every color has it’s own unique DNA. In the architectural color world there is no undertones. The term undertone is a shorthand word that is actually very inaccurate because it relies solely on an individual’s perception of a color and every single person perceives color differently because our eyeballs are all unique. So color science has given us methods and tools to evaluate color more scientifically. Natural lighting on site along with artificial lighting is the final piece in color selection. So, your choice and risk is how smart are their team and how dedicated are they at inspection. It’s a risk I wouldn’t advise. But I would push a different combo that suits your situation and get it approved. Best way. Plus, from a resale point of view, legally you would have to disclose in real estate documents this deviation. Just work with the approved colors. I think you can sell it. Take photos of your neighbors’ homes and show the differences so that goal is met too. Make their job easy to approve!...See MoreNeed help putting together a color palette please?
Comments (77)Everdebz - I don't like beiges or tans. I use to, until I learned NOT to be afraid of color. Whatever style the following is, I have to say that it is what I am now. lol This one is my favorite! You asked me about why I painted the outside of my door teal? That is where it all began. I saw a door painted that color and I loved it. My door leads from the kitchen to a large sundeck. I have an old wicker set that I am going to paint a very light teal color to coordinate with the door color. I already purchased material to re-cover the chairs. My son is an upholsterer so he is going to do them for me. (lucky me) Here is the pattern. The solid color for the seat, the floral for the backs and cushions. My patio sat is very similar to this brown set ( this is just a pic I found someplace) Here are the patterns for the cushions. The are all made now and ready for spring! I will also use Tidewater in my kitchen (someplace) with a darker subway tile. Still haven't selected the tile as yet but it will have to work with Tidewater. I want the colors on my deck to go with my kitchen. There is no entry into the kitchen. When you open the door, you're in my kitchen. lol Patio Set (patterns) Seat Cushions Back Cushions I hope this explains a little better why I painted my doors Really Teal. This is the tile that I picked. I love this one. What do you think with Really Teal and Tidewater? The walls will be painted Oxford White....See MoreRelated Professionals
