Need help choosing exterior paint colors
We plan to paint the exterior siding, trim, gutters, and garage door of our house soon and need help choosing a color scheme that works well with our brick, reddish brown roof, and new black windows. Currently, the siding is a sage green, trim is white, and garage door is beige. I understand the previous owner's decision to use these colors, as they pulled from some of the lighter brick colors. However, it's not my cup of tea. 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 for the trim, gutters, and garage door would be a classic choice and work well, but I'm concerned it will result in too much contrast and make the house look dated and busy. Should we go with a dark siding and even darker trim, go lighter, use the same color for everything? Currently, we are leaning toward a medium brown siding with dark brown trim, gutters, garage door. Never thought I would lean toward darks/browns but I want to choose a scheme that works best with the brick, roof, windows! That particular scheme looks good to me on the online color visualizers, but I would like your input, please!

Comments (5)Are you looking for color blocking? I see it in your inspiration photos. If you do then you should try the home decorating forum. I am not a fan of color blocking myself, but they know all about it....See MoreNeed help choosing exterior paint colors
Comments (0)I need help choosing BM colors. Last time we painted, we chose a sage green with burgandy shutters. I was hoping for a a pretty soft sage that doesn't appear mint. Last time our painter played with the color after the 1st coat so I don't have a name for SW color we ended up with. I was going to only have color on the doors this time. It was too much color. What would be good on shutters? I was thinking cream or navy or a deeper sage on same chip. Is it ok to not put shutters on 2nd floor garage addition even though those windows are in the front? I hate drawing attention to this part of the house. Thank you!...See Moreneed help choosing exterior paint colors
Comments (0)I’m looking to paint the exterior of my home. I am pretty sure I want the columns, fascia and soffits white (but which white?) and I like blues. I’m drawn to colors like SW Dutch Tile Blue or Granite Peak. I don’t want a red white and blue house though. I don’t want to paint the brick - too permanent and we like some contrast. We are building shutters for the small leftmost window. There are a million exterior doors on this house and the back is all hardy board, no brick. We have a new roof and gutters coming in weathered shadow and musket brown, respectively. I like the thought of white in the stucco, but I’m afraid of it being too bright and too modern for my traditional home. And I have no clue what to do with the window trim....See MoreI need help choosing exterior paint colors for my home.
