I like yellow with gray but honestly, gray is a neutral so thre are many possible color choices. I like bright stand-out front doors and will be painting my own bright yellow so you can see I have yellow on the brain!lol!

Thank you for your response. It is hard to tell from the picture but the stone really isn't attractive. It looks very dated compared to other homes in the neighborhood, and it has seen better days. I also don't know how I would feel about painting vinyl siding, does it fade fast? Replacing the stone really isn't too expensive, I would think painting the whole house might cost more. We are definitely keeping the roof and siding the same, just trying to work around them to make them look nicer.

I think what your beautiful house is missing is some potted plants by your entry door and a bench and some planters on the side porch, landscaping would really bring your property to life!

You can get another 20 years out of the shingles. The question is should you paint or stain? I have never seen a painted shingle I like (and I live in shingle world). See if there is any info on what kind of stain was used…maybe a paint can around in the basement? Take what info you can to your paint store and get advice.

We are building new home now and think we have settled on Pacific Blue as well.

This is what our front elevation will look like with siding/stone layout. (similar house builder did one year earlier).

We are doing same color (Pacific Blue) shakes on the highest gable in center and over garage.

We are torn with about the white corner trim pieces - do we go with white or siding color? Not sure.
