I still say bronze. It is done a lot in the high end homes in Atlanta, usually paired with a lighter stone/brick exterior. It is lovely. Here is a picture of a light brick french house with the bronze windows . . . not a great picture but you get the idea. Beautiful with copper gutters.

I agree, the Pearl is too yellow. Still trying to decide between the Antique Parchment and Linen :). I reached a new low as I knocked on doors in the rain, asking if I could hold paint samples up to trim. For better or worse I told the installer we'd use the Teakwood! I felt relieved for about a minute....and then started thinking things like: is it too dark? Is there a PURPLE undertone???? Is the finish too flat? Ha! I might be certifiable! Wish I was someone who didn't care. I might have an ugly house, but I'd be blissfully oblivious :) Well, I guess another option would be having enough money to hire someone like Maria Killam... This line of siding is special order (the warehouse doesn't stock it yet), so we needed to order in advance. I worked up enough nerve to ask our installer (a relative) if the trim wrap was special order, too. It's not, so I have more time to think over the trim color! It's been rainy today and yesterday, so I'm especially glad to have more time since I'd like to be sure I like the trim color when there is some sun. I really wish we could do it all a step at a time - windows installed first, then siding up, then pick a trim color. Seems like it would be easier than trying to envision it ALL. Thanks again for all the help!

I like the stone removed....less is more. I'm not sure I like the white railings; if you go with black windows, I would do the railings the same color like the first picture you posted. But I'd also rethink the black windows. I know they are trendy right now, but I have heard of people regretting the choice. At the very least, I would consider having the windows white on the inside.

Good idea for color blocking. The current cedar siding is too damaged to use. With all the cylinder shapes on the house, we are limited on what we can use. Hardiplank can't be used around the rounded shapes. I am not a stucco fan. We have talked to numerous siding people and are limited to cedar again, a commercial metal house look, or vinyl to cover the rounded curves. The humidity is really hard on the exterior wood and we are hesitant to use it again.
