Need 3rd SW or BM Color For Exterior Door
Comments (4)deedee99 - you're thinking just as I was thinking! Tieing in the exterior door colors to my interior! I'm lame but I was thinking that most of my accent colors inside are the blue/ green colors w/ all of the interior walls being black, grey or some shade of white so I was thinking of my exterior doors as the outside accent that would continue into the interior accent colors. When I got home I pulled out my BM deck and was thinking maybe Caldwell Green HC124. A very dark green w/ lots of blue undertones....See Morewhat color to paint walls with existing trim color
Comments (4)What color are your walls now? Are you looking for something lighter? What about painting the walls the same Softer Tan? Hard to tell for sure, but this photo seems to show the same color for the walls and trim: https://www.decorpad.com/photo.htm?photoId=92215...See Morei need a paint color that will go goodwith colors
Comments (2)A photo of the sofa taken in good light would have been helpful. However, you don't actually have to match wall paint to any of the colors in the sofa. In the montage below I show, first, a paint color that closely matches the background of the print. The sofa disappears slightly into the wall color. The second iteration matches the lightest pink on the sofa. Though it's called Lite Cocoa, it has a pink tone. Do not go for red paint; it can be very difficult to brush on smoothly. And, of course, red will dominate the room. I would use it only in accents in other parts of the room, i.e. a painting. The third color from this sofa is a very dark green. The final iteration shows a pale blue-green color that matches nothing on this sofa, but is a soothing color that I think works in many situations. All these colors work with this sofa, though I personally prefer the last three. I matched the colors to actual paint samples to show it can be done. None of these paints match your sofa. My point was to show how various colors look with the same sofa. A wall color will influence the look of the entire room as well....See MoreIdeas for new exterior siding paint color to go with existing trim
Comments (25)Thanks Beverly! The timbers are actually painted in the same chocolate brown color as the window and roof line trim as well as gutters. And the house is painted wood (been painted several times over the years house circa 1980) although we've only been here two years and inherited the bad peachy sandy beige siding and chocolate brown trim. I agree the darker pic you attached is appealing. Right now I'll be taping up several colors I've picked up. They range from mid toned to darker grays mostly with a green undertone. (I'll post some pics this afternoon.) And we don't see a choice of keeping the chocolate brown trim if we really want to enhance the appeal of the house. So we really ought to get rid of the chocolate brown trim for good--which will include also replacing the gutters and downspouts to a different color (they need replacing anyhow). I'm attaching a closer image of the timbers in the front door area and one looking in from the driveway to the front deck. After paint, trim and gutter color is chosen, we'll tackle a paint color the front door. It's scary now as it has some sort of faux finish with actual leaves embedded and painted over. Since it's an oversized custom door size we are trying to fix it rather than replacing it. The front door is to the immediate right in the deck pic. The two doors in deck photo lead to the dining room and the other to the kitchen. Will also replace light fixtures. It's always a domino effect major project to redo an exterior but it's sorely needed. Thank you again for your time, interest and sharing of talent....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
