Exterior colour for Spanish Revival
Hey All,
We’ve just bought a Spanish Revival house, it’s probably one of only a few in this city, so honestly we’re not needing to stand out from the crowd, we just want a tried and true combination. We’re loving this house and can’t wait to start working on it!
I’ve screen shot about a dozen photos of house colour combinations I like, but can’t find names of paint.
I’m also unsure of whether to go black or dark brown on all the window frames and fascia board. It’s also been suggested to me to paint the fascia board the same cream colour that id choose for the stucco (I don’t want to go too stark white).
I’ll also need to choose deck colours. Even if we go black for the window frames and fascia board, we think black would just be too hot in summer for the deck...dark brown?
What do you think?
I’ll post photos of the front of our house, with close ups for reference of the current colour (since the only photo I have of the entire front isn’t very true to colour), as well as my two favourite images I’m inspired by.
Thank you so much Houzzers!

5 years agoI’ve got an older fan deck from BM.
These are the creamy whites I was thinking could work...
I can try a few on the stucco before deciding, but do you think I’m headed in the right direction? Too white?
I’m also stumped on the ‘trim’ and deck colours :(

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoYou have a beautiful home. Your inspiration pics are just the right color combination.
Have you considered this color?
Dunn-Edwards paint colors -
Body: Swiss Coffee DEW341
Trim: Espresso Macchiato DET680
Spanish Home · More InfoPS: I love your inspiration pic. It seems to be a warmer white than the colors you have selected for your home.
Here is another suggestion that appears to be more in keeping with your warmer white:

Spanish Revival/Mexican/Mediterranean Style - Part X
Comments (15)Thanks for all the kind sentiments about our babies. I am sleep-deprived but very happy. :-) Well...I just HAD to get some Mexican flair in at least one room of this house and I chose the nursery to do that in. I didn't quite get the nursery done before their births due to bedrest so it's still a work in progress. The walls are painted orange (gasp!) and the window treatment includes Mexican paper flowers. One of the walls has the beginnings of a Mexican Tree of Life with paper birds, tin milagros (from the twins' godmother by way of Albuquerque), a Cuzco-style oil of the Santo Nino (I bought it while in San Miguel Dec 06...hoping for a pregnancy miracle) and not sure what else I'll be adding to the tree. I'll post some progress photos. It's taking me much longer than I anticipated. Where are you all and where are all the photos?????...See MoreRE: Spanish Revival/Mexican/Mediterranean Style - Part IX
Comments (150)BinsB How GREAT! I'd guess by now the 'kids' are knocking from the outside - yes? Paleese post a pic if you can. We'd all (I'm sure) love to see your accomplishments :-))) after waiting soooo long. Love the orange colors of the nursery but mmm - are they really going to sleep in one crib? :-)) Just kidding. When you have time, which likely won't be for awhile I'm sure, would love to see the nursery with the paper flowers, et al. Not to worry about the non-span house of present. It's the spirit inside that can carry it thru. Imagine what a tough time I have in my location. LOL!! You'll have lotsa fun (when/if you can find the time) doing some special stuff in your new abode. Trop - hmmm pictures this year? LOL! That will be fun to see. I'll look forward (but won't hold my breath too awfully long). :-))) I'm thinking maybe you just eliminated the kitchen altogether and are doing take out now? Houseful it's great to have you posting again. Perhaps you can help us breathe some life back into this thread as I know Bins is going to be rather busy over the next while. :-)) If it weren't for her dedication, I'm sure this thread would no longer exist. I have a few things on my plate but hopefully they will be resolved shortly and I can return to my decorating love. And speaking of thread(s), I didn't check but I'm thinking we must be getting close to limit - yes? Should we be starting a new thread? Waddya all think?

Comments (32)Hi. I'm no expert (very far from it lol), but in dealing with a situation similar to yours, I came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUXKXJScyYQ This person added the trim afterwards (on top of the stucco). Doing that might make you feel better about your windows. Good luck going forward. Please let us know what you decided to do. Depending on the shape of the trim you choose, if you try this, you might be able to get close to the look of the window trim in the picture shared by Jeffrey above even though not actually recessed....See MorePaint choices help!

I like the trim to be brown, but your trim seems very large and maybe it should be the base color or preferably removed around the windows (if possible). See a Spanish Revival belowHere is another one

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoFor anyone reading this post in the future, we settled on a Sherwin Williams 7106 colour called Honied White!
We took it down by 25% so that it wasn’t too dark.
Also, every white we chose that had a bit of yellow base in it, we were told would fade within 6 months. This honied Yellow is apparently a good base so it wouldn’t have the same problem.
We’re not completely finished. I think another coat is to still go up, plus we’ll be doing our steps as well, but this is more or less the reveal!!
Thank you you for all the help we were given! We’re quite inlove with the outcome. One before picture and two afters!
