What color should I paint my house?
Comments (3)What a charming house. I love the green around the windows, so I would not change that. The yellow in the picture is so light it looks white, but I can see spots where it is definitely yellow. How about a two tone of gray?...See MoreWhat color should I paint my house
Comments (7)I wouldn’t be quick to remove the bushes/trees/shrubs! Identify them first — they may just need pruning and shaping. What are they? The one on the right looks like a lush weeping tree of some kind that has been pruned to look like ‘cousin It’. :) Your house looks great in the color it is now!...See MoreWhat color should I paint my house.

Comments (1)I'd go a nice crisp white and redo the landscaping with lots of lush greenery. Black door. Remove the shutters. White railing in front and maybe add thicker, square columns on the porch....See MoreWhat color should I paint my house?
Comments (8)We have been trying to find a new exterior paint color ourselves which is currently similar to yours but we are in the Portland area so lots of dark green trees in the landscape as foliage compared to where you live. I thought we wanted something more green but after driving around and looking at hundreds of homes in this area we concluded that a lot of the green houses around here look sort of unnatural because they are clashing with the endlessly green Pacific Northwest landscape and when they are close to the same color as the background foliage but slightly different it looks off somehow. I think green is one of the hardest colors to get right on a house. The sage greens with lots of grey seem to look the best around here with our foliage and oven overcast light. So we are now going with a navy gray (Newburyport Blue) which complements our surrounding trees better and are now trying to find the perfect creamy white trim (see my other post). Of your choices I like the Iron Mountain with the crisp white trim. A lot of homes in our area are going with darker neutral colors of gray and charcoal for the body with white trim and it looks very crip and modern compared to the endless combinations of gray/beige/griege with only slightly lighter gray/beige/griege trim that these houses were all painted in the early 2000s....See MoreRelated Professionals
