Is this what you are calling a Saltbox?

From Wiki: "... A saltbox house is a traditional New England style of house with a long, pitched roof that slopes down to the back, generally a wooden frame house. A saltbox has just one story in the back and two stories in the front..."

Salmon Pink (see above)

Thank you for asking. I would rather stay on the traditional side. My grandmother would not approve of”flashy” colours. Ha ha! Looking for traditional with a hint of modern to take this home into the next few decades. Thought of a muted green siding and mid brown shingles or traditional grey siding black shingles white accent. What are your thoughts. I need an unbiased opinion. Thanks

This home is in Newfoundland Canada

We think to do a wrap around The first porch to be connected to the pantry onto the bathroom to the sunroom. Front will be decked

For colors, Google "saltbox house". Look at the various images. Take you pick!

You might be getting more help on colors etc. in the Home Decorating & Design forum as the question seems to fit that forum better as in those that frequent that forum has more of an interest in color. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/decor

Are you in a hurry? I highly recommend painting large sample swatches on your current siding along with potential trim colors so you can see how the color looks in different light. A color can look very different on dark, overcast days than on warm sunny days. Give priority to which type of light you have most often.

I've not been to Newfoundland so I had to google to see if my impression is correct and it seems it is; this house needs colour! Don't assume grammy doesn't want it, definitely ask her.

Don't do grey, there's enough of that in the environment. If you can't do a bold blue, yellow, pink, or red then go creamy white with a coloured trim!

The house you show is very nice and perfectly acceptable. It's just that, if I lived in a part of the world where bright, colourful houses were acceptable I would have a pink house! Or a green one! I'm in BC where fun coloured houses are looked at askance :-/ (not saying that happens everywhere in BC. Just where I am)

I love white houses with green trim and a red door. Some people think that's too Christmas-y but I think it's cottage-y. Or sage green trim, plum door. Or royal blue trim, yellow door. Or Grammy's favourite colour trim and a contrasting colour door. Or vice-versa

Yellow house, green trim, navy door.

Plum house, periwinkle trim, chartreuse door.

Red house, rust orange trim, dark brown stained door.

Rust orange house, brown trim, red door with polished brass handle.

**Want to trade houses??** Lol

This may bore you but I think this house looks great all white. If just needs to be freshened up. White is classic for this style.

If your siding and trim are both true white, you could make your roof any color. To stay with the classic farm look, do keep the trim true white -- and not the glossy variety.

Different vendors have different shades of different colors -- generally a large variety of colors and shades -- and there are different ways to put them together depending upon need:
