Have a cedar house that needs painting and some repair. Need to decide on colors. Leaning towards keeping the white trim and going to a slightly darker color. Maybe a grey-green or grey-blue. The roof is brighter green than the picture makes it look. Advice needed: 1. What style house is this? Florida 1987 cedar siding 2. Main color knowing Ill have white trim and green roof. 3. Do I keep the shutters? If so what color? not sure if they are supposed to be there with the vertical pillars on the siding. 4. Door color, I like the reddish door. 5. What color do you paint the vertical pillars? I was thinking the same color as the main exterior, but I'm wondering what white would look like?? 6. Would you paint the patio ceilings Haint blue? I think its a myth, but could add a little extra southern character. I would prefer the Sherwin Williams paint colors as I'm using their paint. Also will take advice on landscaping, this photo was taken with google maps, will update later with real photo.

I agree with the above posters- I like the current white that you have it works great with your brown roof and the black windows.

I used BM Swiss Coffee inside for all my trim and doors in a prior home. I loved the softness of it and it never seemed cream - more of a true white. I need to ask BM if their formula has changed over the years because on the paint chip it looks more yellow. I am getting ready to paint my house and I want to use it for the trim but I want the soft white I remember.

I’d love to see how Onyx would look. Where are our mock-up people?! :) Not sure about certain lighter gray tones with all of the other elements (the browns and blacks, and if you go lighter on body). Timber color ideas: SW Urbane Bronze: BM Onyx: SW Tricorn Black: SW Iron Ore: Of course you’d need to try samples, see them in different lights, but these all have the potential to coordinate well. A more gray tone, SW Peppercorn. I can’t decide if I like it or not: Playing around … SW Dark Bronzetone: BM Black Forest Green:
