Finally the rain has stopped in WA and the painter fit me in. My house in the above pictures was just painted in SW satin Ellie Grey with gloss Extra White trim. The front door was painted in gloss Tricorn Black which isn't as super shiny/smooth on the door as I expected. . This black is what I am planning on painting window shutters. The grey seems to coordinate with the blue cast in the roof I was worried about. The Ellie Grey seems kind of grey brown which I wasn't expecting in grey/non sunny light even though its not supposed to have any brown. They said it was neutral grey when I looked into it. The house used to be painted a nice yellow with white trim. Pictures above are the Hardy siding. I have a very hard time with change and I'm not sure about the house colors I picked. Front door doesn't look very smooth. What do people think of the color choices? I'm also getting new garage doors with Sherwood window inserts and getting new front steps. I'm thinking possibly Trex type material in grey and black for the stair tread and backs with possibly black metal stair railings. Does anyone have any stair pictures they think would look good? Thanks for any help!

The only issue is my stairs are ehhh the color door I have now is fading.

I agree with Patricia. Painting a blue green trim would spoil the entire look of the house. I would keep it very similar to what it is. You bought a spanish house. It is no longer a 70's ranch. It looks quite nice as it is.

yes, the gray tones are hard to work w/those tiles. I just had a complete reroof during the paint change. The entire neighborhood (I'm in North OC) has those heavy pink/terra cotta cement tiles. but they've faded after 40 years. I couldn't wait to get something diff. If you want to remain period to your home, stick w/the white/yellows for the stucco, and the greens/blues or even black for the trim. have you thought about doing black? It's very handsome this is a creamier white w/more of a dark bronze trim blue or green always works I did find one with a dark charcoal gray and a swiss coffee stucco. this color gray would work. You need a true gray with no blue or yellow undertones. this is a 1930's in Los Feliz I still like the black though i'm jelly of your home. vintage spanish are my favorites. I'd love to redo one.
