I would do the siding in the Peppercorn, too. I would get an Almond for the trim.

You have a charming home.

You don't have to paint the brick, you can limewash or stain the brick. You can control the amount of white to make the walls more interesting and it won't peel off like paint.

I'd consider this as a color scheme for your home if you leave the brick as is.

If the walkway stays where it is, then expand the planting beds on to the other side of the walkway. There's just not enough ornamental plantings for the size of your house.

So what did you end up doing? In the exact predicament with almond windows. We are painting brick bc of addition. Have to decide on paint color by Thursday for brick and trim and was already looking at several of these colors. Thinking peppercorn for shutters and I’m between Shoji, Creamy, and Oyster

UPDATE!!

SW Peppercorn 7674 - Garage door (new-factory painted), gutters, downspouts, all exterior doors, shutters.

.

SW Natural Linen 9109- Siding, soffits. brightened house and eliminated yellow undertones of Mossy Oak brick and former SW Kilimn Beige paint.

.

Fence!! Valspar 1-Coat semi-Transparent Exterior Stain - Charred Gray. Matches Peppercorn. Really pops the green landscaping!

I hope the new photos help! (almost all taken today to show aging and wear).

Sorry some of the photos rotated as I chose a smaller size.

This was very helpful!

Hi all. New to houzz sorry to jump in on this post but I googled my problem and this thread came up. We just bought a major fixer upper. Roof completed yesterday and now we’re onto exterior paint. However I’m running into the dreaded almond vinyl window issue… I would love something like shoji white but I’m not sure how that would
Look against the almond. I’m open to any direction so long as it looks clean, classic, and keeps the architectural interest the focus. Please feel free to redirect me if I should be asking elsewhere. Help and thank you!

Need paint for the wood parts

Need to paint the cedar

I would love something like shoji white but I’m not sure how that would
Look against the almond.

I'll take working with almond over stark white windows any day - so much easier.

Can tell you how I deal with them. "Almond" is not the same color brand to brand so we measure the color of the windows. We use a Spectro 1 Pro, but a more affordable Color Muse works too.

Settings in the app have to be Illuminant D65, 2 degree observer. One of the windows in the app will give you the hue angle of the Almond color.

Then it's just a matter of finding colors in the same hue angle range.

If you do that, post back with the hue angle and I can post a list of colors that fit. A color like Shoji is definitely possible, just need to make sure it aligns - relates correctly - with the Almond.

Thank you so much for this!! On it and will report back my genius guru!

Here’s the closest we can come. My painter used his scanner and pulled up Naturel lrv 50.503 RGB rz03-G192 B173

Cheri, I don’t know if you still check in, just wanted to say your ’afters’ look fantastic! Beautiful home and yard.

@Jenny Martin: "Roof completed yesterday and now we’re onto exterior paint."

What's wrong with the existing paint? You could just remove the fake shutters on the one window and be done.

Thank you Jilly! We still love our choices. Amazing what a subtle paint change can do!!

Wonderful! :)

@Jenny Martin

It's great your painter has a device! The ideal notations from the app are LCh. The h is the hue angle. It looks like this in the Color Muse app.

Any chance you can get the h, hue angle?

He said that’s all the info it can provide him sadly. I wish I had that info!!

Cedar should have a solid stain on it, not regular house paint. Since its already been stained, regular semi transparent stain, most likely would not work.
