Green, Blue and Red are all out I'm afraid. The house was sage green when it was first built and it blended it with the surroundings too much as we are literally backed up against the wood with wilderness out our back door. My husband had it stuccoed then years ago and it came out an pale yellow color which wasn't what he thought he was getting. Now it just blends in with the cream color houses all around us. We need to not stick out like a sore thumb in this older neighborhood we are in, but yet give the house some visual clarity so its more easily noticed and stands apart from the neighbors with a darker tone. Red doesn't go at all with what we've done on the inside and isn't our thing, and while I love blue and use a lot of it inside with teals and aquas, we want the exterior to be a stronger neutral...maybe a mid to darker tone tan. I don't have access in this little town to SW or BM paint chips so am hoping to get some ideas for when we get into the city later this week and I will grab some paint chips then.

I need pictures. What color was the stucco before? I do not see any blue undertone in SC so that is why I am asking what the old stucco color was.

Post photos of your house if you want ideas. Randomly adding trim can create a route for water intrusion unless done correctly.

Not wrong, great idea! I love vintage homes that get creative with colors. :) I hope others will chime in with ideas. I guess I’d just start trying some samples to see what really feels right to you. And researching — search cottage colors, stucco and brick homes, Tudor colors, etc. Even though your house isn’t a Tudor, Arts and Crafts, or whatever, you might still find inspiration with them. It is challenging with having three materials to coordinate, I’m hoping someone can do some mock-ups! Re: the teal … I’m not sure regarding application. I wish I could mock it up for you … doing just the trim, or trim, siding, and stucco.
