Just when I think I've decided I change my mind. My current house is a sage green color (hope it uploaded below) with a yellowish cream trim. It needs new paint badly. I've narrowed it down to 3 schemes but I have a hard time seeing how a color will translate to my house structure. 1. Sage (similar to what I have but with a whiter trim) 2. Benjamin Moore 'whale gray' 3. White and black (I love black and white) but am scared this will look like the many ugly shitty ones I drive by.

Honestly I’m not sure. My husband and I are in the medical field so anything to do with construction is out of our element. Out of curiosity, why do you say this design is more suited for Florida or Texas? If it helps - we are in Eastern Washington. Pretty dry area with a good amount of sun. By the way, im not offended you asked. Im open to any and all suggestions/opinions.

The house, door and shutters are all in need of paint and would love something neutral but not white. I have 7 years until I retire and then will sell the house so wanting something to last and not be trendy.

These comments are so helpful. THANK YOU! @Patricia Colwell, why not blue? @Jilly, I'm delighted you suggested Bella Blue. It looks beautiful in the picture you posted. And we have a cat named Bella, which would be a strange reason to paint our whole house Bella Blue, but still... ;) @cat_ky, thanks for the input on the reddish trim. It's funny, my husband hates it but I have liked it. (We bought the house this way so did not select the colors.) @Circus Peanut, thanks for these suggestions. I will check out Bunglehouse Blue on the visualizer. @Greta Greite, what would be your first choice? We don't want something completely neutral like tan or gray. Our street is very eclectic - lots of grays and tans but here and there there's a bright teal house, a dark red house, a yellow house, etc. @Angela Tollefson, I'm excited to check out Newburg Green. I would've been misled by the "green" in the title (just like "Gentleman's Gray" is actually blue, it seems). @Sabrina Alfin, I love the ideas about boxing out the posts. The paint altogether came off of the cedar as it is, so it's only a matter of time before that happens once we repaint. Thank you, all! And if others have more ideas, too, I'm happy to hear them. I am OBSESSED with paint colors right now.
