exterior paint color - what goes with a brown roof?
Comments (5)The closest BM match to Mellow Grain would be Dunmore Cream if that helps you to visualize it. Here is the reason that I wouls prefer to not live in the "Red House"-it may not apply to your environs. Our area is mostly new construction in subdivisions-most of the homes are no more than 10 years old, and our particular neighborhood didn't break ground until 2005. For resale it seems to be best to paint the home a color that blends well and fits in with the surrounding homes-the few homeowners who tried something different and then tried to sell ended up selling for less than they should have-in one case a home that the owner had painted a pretty potent blue color was listed for 6 months without an offer, then painted and relisted at a price $15k higher than the original price only to sell in less than a week. I don't really do anything to the outside of my home without some consideration as to what it might do to my resale potential even though I have no plans to move. The last two homes we bought and sold had less curb appeal when we bought them than when we sold them-we were able to buy them cheaper and sell for more. The first house I ever bought was Pink-PINK. The agent didn't want me to see it but I forced her to show it to me-we stole it and the first thing we did was paint it a creamy yellow. The neighbors all thanked us....See MoreWhat color should we paint siding and trim?
Comments (5)The siding you currently have looks very yellow in the pictures. If painting the brick is not an option I would choose a more updated shade of warm gray to compliment. Take a look at Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist 1549. Shutters will make a huge difference by adding visual interest to your exterior. Try a warm red like Benjamin Moore Spanish Red 1301 or an earthy green like Benjamin CC-724 Homestead. Paint the front door to match. You can also add a pop of color through landscaping, especially on the left side of the house....See MoreWhat siding color and trim goes with a green metal roof
Comments (9)greige with that particular green roof and black trim sounds really dull. but besides white, I'm at a loss of what I'd recommend for your house. I'm not a pro, so I tend to be biased to a specific set of looks. I do like the inspiration pic that Lady North posted above: cool grey with white trim. first of all, what is your design style? do you have any inspiration pics? when you google "green metal roof" notice the homes have brighter green roofs than yours, so it's not exactly a fair comparison. next steps I recommend: 1. have roof cleaned well so you can see what the color actually is (right now the dirt is making it look dull) 2. take new photos and ask us again! (for best outcome, shoot on an overcast day so you don't get shadows and glare.) just curious: is the outcome of our answers going to stop you from buying the house? if it's a solid house with a good layout, and you like the location, go for it. don't let this exterior stop you. no matter what, it's fixable. also.... once you move in you might find that painting is not your #1 priority. so you have plenty of time to think this through....See MoreHelp with an exterior paint color to compliment dark brown trim!
