Help choose trim color for Spanish Style House
Main color will be Sherwin Williams Pure White. I am torn between Dunn Edwards Avalon DET552 and Glidden Artichoke Leaf.
Here's the house with lots of work in progress and pics of color samples on window trim thPugh they look different on the screen phone/computer screen.
Wondering if balcony in Avalon DET522 will be too much/too bright??
I need to make decision by tonight, ideally.
Thank you!!

5 years agoSorry I thought I attached the pic of house. Here it is along with the Avalon DET552 color from the Dunn Edwards site. I know colors look different in the deck and on a computer screen but I'm noticing the color sample (color matched by Sherwin Williams) on the window looks very different and not what I expected. I thought it would look more green than blue and not as bright. Could it be that Sherwin Williams did not color match properly?

Comments (13)I would not add a third colour to the exterior for the trim. As it is, my eye automatically goes to the trim around the windows (as it contrasts with the wall). If you like the existing attention around the windows keep it the same (to tie in with the roof) however, I would be inclined to consider painting the trim out with the wall colour (which I do like). Keep a pop of colour for the front door....See MoreSpanish style paint experts, please help with color choices!

Comments (8)On this style of house with nice thick beefy trim, a different color for sashes is quite appropriate - and does jazz up the house nicely. I would have gone with something higher contrast - prob the dark brown-red if these are the only choices. Lighter colors could get lost when viewed from a distance. But hey - if you like it go for it. It doesnt look like a huge commitment (unlike if you were painting entire house)....See MoreNeed help on choosing a new trim color! Recently bought this home!
Comments (4)Looks like you have bronze windows. I would paint all the trim black fox by Sherwin Williams. Find a great punchy color for the front door like aqua or grass green.

5 years agoI went with SW pure white and artichoke green (color match). I like it. Landscaping is next which will add some much needed color against the white exterior.
