I would suggest when you do paint the house that you paint the whole house first with that strip painted out so he can see it without and paint that piece of the trim last as then you can see how it would look without and with it. Well what I was trying to say is your house does lean towards the spanish revival and you keep saying you want spanish and not tuscan, mexican etc. and really what is spanish color theme tends to be white or a very light color that reads white with a darker trim color such as brown, or more very muted colors. Landscaping makes a huge difference in how a house looks too. What I'm wondering is if you really have settled in your mind what you want the house to be or if you really need the house to be one particular style. Many color will work for your house as long as you pick something that works with the roof color. Maybe it is your mentioning spanish that throws me off. BTW if you look at the picture I posted it is a very simple style except for the tower and the other items are things your house has or will have too. You have arches, you have the curved wall, the raised trim, you're adding a pergola (not a porch like in the house shown). You could on your gable sides add corbels either dark stained wood or faux looking wood like you're planning for the garage door. If you look at a spanish villa - they tend to be white, with tile roofs, mainly boxy. Some have arches, some have railings that are often white and look like concrete formed (don't know the correct terminology). I guess I would ask yourself do you want the spanish look, or does it really matter and should you just go with a color that you like and not worry about trying to keep to a particular style?

I would go more mid century modern. Dark gutters and roof. Leave the brick as is and leave the eaves white. Modern light fixtures and landscaping. Remove the landscape timbers on the left so you can see the brick ledges under the windows. Remove the bench and pop the front door with an orange color. Check out mid century modern homes on Houzz or Google.

Thank you Marylee! i Love these images. I’m thinking we go for a creamy white stucco (Swiss Coffee or Navajo White).. I was trying to go more contemporary than Mediterranean, but these colors just make sense with the roof.

IMO the gable does not belong on that house so no matter what color it is it will still not belong BTW neither do the shutters belong If you must keep the gable then you need to make it much wider and shallower more like a MCM portico
