Exterior paint color suggestions for Mediterranean-style home?
Comments (20)I think the easiest path to loading pictures on this forum is thru Photobucket.com. After you get your picture uploaded to your Album in Photobucket, which is easy because it shows you step by step what to do, you simply place you cursor on the picture and a little menu pops up. Click on "HTML Code" and immediately a yellow box pops up that says "copied". What you have done is parked your picture on Photobucket and copied the address where it *lives*. You can then open a "Message" window here on this forum and PASTE in the HTML Code which is the address where your picture now *lives*. Becareful not to delete any brackets or details from the HTML Code. Leave a couple returns (lnes or spaces) above and below the HTML Code. You can type your "Message" above or below the code. Or you can email me and I will post your pic here. It's not like who I am or my email is a big secret so here it is. :) lori@colorstrategies.net...See MoreExterior paint color suggestions for Mediterranean-style home?
Comments (5)smiles - try this: http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/ Choose Exterior Scene. Try the Spanish Revival house (or any other you want), then plug in some colors like Mossy Gold (just request Mossy or you'll get a whole bunch of different golds), Baguette, a peachy pink like Constant Coral or any other colors that will be suggested in this thread. You will also get suggested coordinating colors for doors, shutters and trim. Another idea is to go to your nearest paint store like SW or BM and ask what are the most popular colors for your style house. Take a picture of your house and ask to talk with the color consultant when you're there and see what they recommend. Doesn't hurt to gather as many opinions as possible and see if there is a common thread....See MoreExterior Paint suggestions for large garage/smaller house

Comments (10)grover - he said gutters and post black, so they'll be painted I guess, but I'd paint them white if they lie against the house. Can't go wrong with a white house and black trim....See Morejshar2004
