Feeling blue over GREEN....need help with my exterior house paint
Comments (5)Have you tried doing Dry Sage 50%? It will be the same color tone but lighter. On my house my trim was SW River Birch - a gray taupe color.

The advantage of using a color like this is you can go to a house with it locally (hopefully) to see what it looks like IRL. ^No color specified, but this roof is similar to your roof (on this side of the monitor). ^This one above is Sherwin Williams Slate Tile ^No color name or number in the more info section ^No color name or number in the more info section ^This one is SW Slate Tile...See MoreNeed help with exterior house colors; shutters, front door.
Comments (4)Very first impression is there are way too many narrow shutters and none fit the windows properly. What is not taken advantage off is the mill work over the windows.
