Paint Building a Home Exterior

Coordinating color with SW Mount Etna?

4 years ago

We are painting the exterior of our house Mount Etna with snowbound on the trim. I feel like I need to paint the shakers a different shade to add a little dimension. I've thought about Seaworthy but am not sure if that is too close to Mount Etna. If this was your house, what would you use with Mount Etna?

I am considering mount Enta on my shutters. Did you ever paint? I'd love to see it. Sorry you didn't get any advice. I'm not sure what the shakers are?

I ended up doing just Mount Etna and Snowbound. I really am loving mount Etna but may add another accent color later. Depending on the weather, it changes the color of mount Etna but I’ve loved all of the variations.

Angelantix, what did you end up going with in your bedroom/bath? I am in the same predicament now and have looked at all your colors. I'm thinking of weekend getaway for the bedroom and looking for a bathroom color, would love to do beach glass but not sure it will coordinate. Now I'm thinking I should do a neutral in the bedroom and a blue or green in the bathroom. Would love to know how it turned out and if anyone has suggestions for a neutral bedroom color. Our trim is cream and my bedding has I guess like a rust'ish color with green and teal and a little gold in it. thanks in advance, any advice would be helpful! Karen

I'm in the process of picking out a white. They carry Sherwin Williams. I happen to love Benjamin Moore White Dove. They "say" they can match but I don't know if they can exactly.The only SW white that comes close to BM White Dove is SW Westhighland White. BM is a much better quality paint.

Thanks @Beverly for the visuals! It definitely helps to see the potential for the room. Ironically, I saw a swatch of the rug before I ordered it and it seemed more beige even though it was described as "ivory." Thanks @Louise Smith for your suggestions. I'm not a fan of bright color rugs but I realize that others may have different tastes, especially on a forum like this. I'm planning on getting a 9x12 wool rug though, so not necessarily an inexpensive purchase. I'd like something that will last and would rather make changes with smaller accent pieces over time.

We just painted our mt. Etna and it looks bluer than I expected. In some lights it looks more grey/dark green (which was what I was going for). Any suggestions on door color with mt. Etna?

Hi, suggestions for front door color with Mt Etna with Alpaca trim and living near the water. I thought a plum color but may be too dark fir our general home feel. Mediterranean is a more blue/gray which may be safer. Any ideas?

Hello! Did you paint your house? Mount Etna? We are currently painting our's, repainting from the first color, white. Hated it. Lol. Went the opposite extreme and did Alabaster trim with mount Etna body. Just trying to decide my door color. Did you finish yours? What did you go with? I love this color. It looks beautiful in west facing sun. People are complimenting it before it's even half painted! It's reads very blue to me, but supposed to have green undertone. I don't see it, even in the shade.
