Need help choosing exterior paint for siding and trim

I need advice on what to paint the exterior new siding and trim that will go with the earth tones in my brick. A colorist from Sherwin Williams suggested two choices: SW 9127 At Ease Soldier/siding with SW7551 Greek Villa or SW 9174 Moth Wing/siding with SW6385 Dover White. One seems too green and the other too brown. I have to pick the colors asap since the siding is being replaced now.

Need help with exterior colors for siding, trim, windows--Thanks!!
Comments (2)We are getting ready to replace roof, siding windows. Using hardie board, and want to stick with a factory color for at least the siding (could paint the trim ourselves a different color). I'm leaning towards cobblestone for the board and batten siding, my husband likes contrylane red. Charcoal gray roof or brownish? Bronze windows or off white? Thanks for any feedback!...See Moreneed help choosing siding and trim color!
Comments (4)Barnes, I am going with the Dove Wing on the entire house! My husband wanted gray with white trim but I convinced him that all Dove Wing would be beautiful and beachy with all the cable railing. I hope I am not mistaken! My POA is requiring a darker color on the stucco pillars/lattice. I'm thinking brown, gray or even a muted olive green to tie in with nature. Thoughts?...See MoreHelp!

5 years agoSW Greek Villa (trim?) and SW Tree Branch. I don't want my siding to be too dark and am afraid to not have enough contrast if one color is too light to go with Greek Villa for trim. It is crunch time since the siding will be complete within the next 2 weeks. Thank you for your help! Looks like you have the program that allows you to paint the color on the siding. That is a big help! :=)
