We are painting our house and having stucco work done. We will be removing the "shutters" and adding simple trim around each window. I'm having a hard time choosing a color that will coordinate with the brownish- red roof. we live in a coastal area, so I was thinking of a light green or blue with white trim or should I stick with more of a beige, or earth tone? Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated!!

Comments (0)I need help choosing BM colors. Last time we painted, we chose a sage green with burgandy shutters. I was hoping for a a pretty soft sage that doesn't appear mint. Last time our painter played with the color after the 1st coat so I don't have a name for SW color we ended up with. I was going to only have color on the doors this time. It was too much color. What would be good on shutters? I was thinking cream or navy or a deeper sage on same chip. Is it ok to not put shutters on 2nd floor garage addition even though those windows are in the front? I hate drawing attention to this part of the house. Thank you!...See Moreneed help choosing exterior paint colors
Comments (0)I’m looking to paint the exterior of my home. I am pretty sure I want the columns, fascia and soffits white (but which white?) and I like blues. I’m drawn to colors like SW Dutch Tile Blue or Granite Peak. I don’t want a red white and blue house though. I don’t want to paint the brick - too permanent and we like some contrast. We are building shutters for the small leftmost window. There are a million exterior doors on this house and the back is all hardy board, no brick. We have a new roof and gutters coming in weathered shadow and musket brown, respectively. I like the thought of white in the stucco, but I’m afraid of it being too bright and too modern for my traditional home. And I have no clue what to do with the window trim....See MoreI need help choosing exterior paint colors for my home.

5 years agoUse the visualizer on the various paint sites. I did these at Sherwin Williams. They are sloppy but give you an idea.
I'd like off white or very light beige but my attempt to show off white looks a bit lavender I think.
