Need to pick roof color...
Comments (2)you've probably done this already, but here's a pic that came up in an image search for grey house tan siding :) and i think it's very pretty. that said, i prefer mixing neutrals/cools/warms... i'm not a layered tan on tan on tan kinda girl. there are also lots of pictures of tan siding with black shutters with lots of different roof colors....See MoreExterior paint color and roof color
Comments (1)Don't paint gutters unless you must. You don't have to. The Almond windows and gutters are the color baseline from which you have to work. Means you should be looking at warmer tones in the roof category. Driftwood, weatherwoods, Bark type color names are usually where you find those warmer tones. Pewters, charcoals, silver, steel - those are the kind of roof color names that likely will not harmonize easily with the almond windows and gutters. With that said, can not go by color names alone. It comes down to carefully evaluating samples. Sway off from harmonizing the roof color with the baseline elements you have to work from, windows and gutters, and you will make nailing a paint color scheme harder. Choose your roof, ideally get it on the house and then choose new paint color scheme. Blues *might* be an option but it depends on how the roof comes out....See MoreWhat color roof and exterior paint would you pick?
Comments (28)Thanks Flo! I mentioned silver birch as a possibility but Bev, a pro, said no, but she might not have realized I was considering the Loopy Crab look. I agree, the ceilings of the porches make the wow factor so I would do the same. What about the railings on our house. Leave them white? We have shutters on the front of the house unlike Loopy. Maybe paint those and the front door turquoise too, or leave all that stuff white? PS.. let me know if you want to visit your sister but stay at our house! Haha So much fixing up to do. If you are curious, google “Sandtrap Surfside SC” Feel free to give me tips for the interior! We are looking at LVP floors, new paint etc and I haven’t even picked out these dumb shingles yet....See MoreNeed help picking a roof color!
