HELP ASAP- siding and roof color
Comments (10)i agree this must be stressful to make such a quick decision. I don't think I would want to do tan colour siding on the house. Tan is often a pinky beige. Ours is taupe and I don't love it. Beige with pink undertones in it (usually described as tan) can be problematic as it tends to clash with other beiges. It you are lost, check out Maria Killam's website. She writes lots about the problems with pinky beige. As per the roof, of the options pictured above by Omelet, I really like the Pewter grey. The other grey is too light and may show streaking over time. The Weatheredwood is nice, but puts you more in the category of going earthy toned siding. I just prefer black or grey roofs, so I am biased. You definitely need to narrow down your siding options, before finalizing on the roof. You need first of all to decide if you want cool toned sidings (grey family), earthy (taupes, browns, tans) or very neutral (white or cream which goes great with black roof shingles). There is an online colour expert who charges I believe $25.00 to answer colour questions (she is very good at exterior colours). Her name is Barbara Meglis and I have linked her site below (I have no association with her, but have used her servies). She responded to our colour questions very quickly (less than 24 hours). For peace of mind, you want to run your final siding/roof choices by her. Best of luck with this quick decision. Color coach...See MorePLEASE HELP! I need to decide on exterior colors. ASAP!
Comments (32)Miranda, Thank you for the image with the color change. I appreciate the visual. The Soji white in person is really white. I painted the fascia just to see how it would look and it was too white. I painted over it with the Acia Haze. We also live in a Arizona with horse property so my husband doesn‘t want something too light where the dirt will show up. We are liking the Urban Puddy which is the bottom left in my original picture and the big board in the pictures I added. I put up the board I made of Roadside in the morning and post a picture. The painter will pressure wash tomorrow, tape Tuesday, and start painting Thursday. Based on the comments it seems we should go with the Urban Puddy. Or does anyone have a specific color they’ve used and been happy with that is similar to what we‘re all visualizing?...See MorePlease help! I need countertop paint recommendations ASAP!
Comments (34)Please post a picture when you're done. All the best at this stressful time. I like what you have done so far. I don't see why painting quartz is any different than painting tile. Shiny things can be painted, sometimes even without roughing them up. The very worst that could happen is that in a few years you need to replace it. Or repaint it. Doesn't seem like such a high risk to me. In the meantime, you have something that you like the look of....See MoreNeed to pick siding color ASAP!
Comments (35)No shutters. I like that lime green or the canary yellow that Jinx did for you. Someone mentioned red. I like this. But it HAS to be a vibrant red. no brick red, or blah red. Make it a lipstick red. a red that has blue undertones to it, not yellow. (Try SW Valentine) AND, you must bring in the red foilage in the flower beds if you want to complete the look. I covered up your shrubs (which do nothing) so you can see how much nicer the entire front of the house would look. I also gave you a silver sconce and address numbers below it. Replace those round shrubs w/a japanese maple and the red geraniums. maria talks about pairing the front door w/complimentary colors w/plants and other decor. https://mariakillam.com/create-gorgeous-curb-appeal-with-front-doors/ If you like the cooler tones, you could go w/any of the blues/blue-greens, but you'd have to bring in these beautiful blue tones in these ceramic pots to up the color in the flower beds and porch. Love any of these colors. But, I gotta say, I'm partial to the red/viole/pink end of the spectrum Live a little. who wants a front door like everyone else? Besides, it's only paint. Similar to BM Petunia Pink. Dark siding w/a pale pink and white trim look great together. Personally I'd go w/something a bit bolder, (and when spring comes along, give the flower beds a redo. those round shrubs do nothing to compliment the home. in fact, they blend into the dark siding. you don't want that. ) see what they've done here? yes, I see your shrubs like they show in this pic! but they are against a light siding in this pic. With your dark siding, those shrubs disappear. Fuchsia. I love this combo. Wild Orchid color. Man I love me some lavender mixed w/pink and blues! BM Exotic Fuchsia Any of these colors would look amazing w/your siding. bring in some natural wood accents w/some chairs or some cedar window boxes. A yam/goldenrod colored front door would be pretty w/vibrant greens and whites in your flower bed. You want these bright chartreuse greens against your dark siding, regardless of your door color. flower colors will depend on what color door you choose. here's the yam color w/your siding. I left the pink/gray foilage, but the bright greens/whites and oranges/yellows would look better in your flower bed....See MoreBkob
