Looking to paint my exterior of my house. The house is based in Arizona, and it has stone accent in the front. The roof is brown so I’m trying to find a color combo for The body that matches well and then a trim color as well.

currently the house is orange/peach and I’m not a fan of this color, at least in this tone. It’s too orange. Please help me choose some combos. Pictures included.

Yes, that is a very peachy orange color. I first thought neutral bone/beige but your photo with the lower stone section seems to have a lot of red tones, even in the darker brick. I'm no expert so i would be relying on sample cards, in various tones, and taping them against the brick to view. Some might obviously not work but those that do might be worth a sample pot painted onto large sheets and go through the process again...

How about a medium brown and a light taupe?

The body more like BM Manchester Tan than what I can up with.

We suggest doing a white-washed brick and white or light gray siding. Keep the black shutters. While this is a different style of home, it's the same idea:

The color of my house is just a little lighter than yours. So that it would not look bland, I used a beautiful blue from Behr Marquee called Superior blue. Here is a photo of my house (I also used red for my doors):The blue trim and the red doors help to keep my house from looking boring and bland! I suggest going bolder with the trim color, something that will compliment the color of your house, roof, door color, and anything else you have on your house. My colors were chosen so that they would work well with the stone on the front of my house, roof color, and the red brick on my chimney.

Hello all - so we have a couple weeks to finalize the paint color and I am really leaning towards SW Naval on the siding & Colonnade Gray on garage door. Naval is a bit lighter than the original navy I posted earlier (Anchors Aweigh). As mentioned the shutters are less than a year old and we don’t want to paint them. The dark navy should hopefully tie in pretty well with the shutters. If they don’t we can always paint the shutters later. The front door has been ordered and will be painted the same as siding. Thoughts?

What do you think about gray? or a tone of gray?. In looking at your last post there is one grey brick amongst the reddish tones, which actually doesn't look all that bad! In a block of colour, it may make the red tones even redder though....

My preference for the body would be something that blends with the lightest stone color. It's hard to tell for sure but it might be a light tan? No gray since your roof is brown and the overall stone color looks warm.
