Paint Design Dilemma Exterior

Coordinating colors for SW Oyster Bay

6 years ago

I am building a new home, I love SW Oyster Bay. I have chosen this for my exterior with white trim. The problem is deciding what color to paint shutters and door. Does anyone have suggestions? I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

It's always nice to actually post a pic of your colors so we don't have to google it.

I'd do the very darkest color at the end of this color chip for your shutters. you need some contrast.

here in this room the wall is oyster, ceiling white, and look at the dark beams. do you're shutters like that

this is it on the exterior

I saw a video on Pottery Barn's website that made me think of your question. PB has a curated Sherwin-Williams line that includes both Accessible Beige and Extra White, so I thought that might serve as a good starting place for you for inspiration. Here's a link to their recommended colors: https://www.potterybarn.com/tips-and-ideas/bring-out-the-best-in-your-home-with-neutral-colors/

I think a photo of the house is needed for suggestions. I can’t get my head wrapped around 3 gables painted a bold color….what color is the roof?

I definitely would match the ceiling to the crown molding. Any other shade will look off next to it.

You could stick with the same white you are using for the trim--or I would suggest a color similar to Oil Rubbed Bronze (bronze brown) or a dark Charcoal grey. I have SW Oyster Bay for my lower kitchen cabinets, and both bronze (I have ORB hardware) and charcoal look nice with them. IMHO :)
