Tan siding (wicker) with black shutters...what color roof?
Comments (1)Hard to say without a pic. I have a weathered wood roof with tannish- orangish bricks, SW creamy trim and SW tobacco doors/ shutters. Looks great but i had to get used to it after replacing a brown roof. Like this better as there are more door/trim/shutter color options now. Weathered wood is quite common in my subdivision so drive around and see what others have. Someone is likely to have a similar color scheme, even in ofher developments by the builder. Dont know where you live, but the roof is likely to fade a bit over time, so it wont always be that dark....See MoreNeed help picking roof color for house with green siding
Comments (16)I was actually thinking of painting the shutters white, too, after I saw a picture of a green house with white shutters and it looked very nice. We also were going to close up the gable vents (the roof will have a ridge vent so we shouldn't need the gable vents, and bats like to hang from them and make a mess on the siding). I was thinking I could do some kind of accent siding in place of the gables, in some sort of color or even a stained wood type color (if the shutters were white)....See MoreHelp picking Exterior Brick/Siding White Paint Color
Comments (1)Don’t go by pictures. Have samples of each color made and try it out on your house. Then look at the samples from a distance and see how it looks in your light with your roof color. The front of the house is most important, but you might want to consider test samples on other sides of the house as well....See MoreHelp pick out paint colors for exterior siding and trim
Comments (0)We plan to paint the exterior siding, trim, and garage door of our house soon and need help choosing a color scheme that works well with our brick and new black windows. I am open to painting or staining the brick to create a uniform look, but my husband is a hard no on touching the brick at all. As you can see, we're growing ivy on most of the front brick anyway. We initially thought white siding with a dark brown or charcoal for the trim and garage door would work well, but I'm worried the house will end up looking dated and busy. Should we go with a dark siding and even darker trim, or use the same color for siding, trim, & garage door? Too many choices. Help!...See MoreYT
