Need help picking exterior paint colors - South West Facing House

3 years ago

I got the sample paint and I'm down to two colors I like: Benjamin Moore Fossil vs. BM Alaskan Skies.

The exterior front is southwest facing. Need to decide today but having a hard time picking between the two colors. Please help.

Sorry but for us to choose a color on a monitor for you would not be a good idea I think this will need to be your decision.

Are those some kind of storm shutters that close across the windows? Are you sure they are paintable? If you search this site for photos of "red tile roof" you'll see lots of inspiration pix. You'll be able to narrow down the possibilities by seeing actual homes with your roof color and the various ways they've been painted.

Southwest..I would think yellow would affect your color choice. By yellow, I mean the the impact of the sunlight. Try B.M. Gull Wing Gray or any gray on that strip. It has a blue undertone which will cool things down and stay true. Chantilly Lace is a good white as a coordinate. As for your two considerations. I am going to say no to them, as each has a bronzy undertone which will change drastically once on the exterior.

I used BM Swiss Coffee inside for all my trim and doors in a prior home. I loved the softness of it and it never seemed cream - more of a true white. I need to ask BM if their formula has changed over the years because on the paint chip it looks more yellow. I am getting ready to paint my house and I want to use it for the trim but I want the soft white I remember.

Need help with picking out paint colors for home. Please no gray(we have many gray days in Portland). Also I am thinking of adding some windows on my garage doors. Perhaps square row stacked on left side. Any help would be appreciated.

I actually like the white color that you are sampling on! Seriously. It looks fabulous with the roof and your black windows!

I agree with the above posters- I like the current white that you have it works great with your brown roof and the black windows.
