Help pick out paint colors for exterior siding and trim
Comments (0)We plan to paint the exterior siding, trim, and garage door of our house soon and need help choosing a color scheme that works well with our brick and new black windows. 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 or charcoal for the trim and garage door would work well, but I'm worried the house will end up looking dated and busy. Should we go with a dark siding and even darker trim, or use the same color for siding, trim, & garage door? Too many choices. Help!...See MoreHELP picking out exterior paint colors!
Comments (5)No decision in any of the roof or rock color. Have to have rock somewhere on front as accent. Black windows is all we know so far! Having a hard time picturing colors on the home. No yellow or blue. That’s about it!...See MoreNeed help picking an exterior paint color!
Comments (3)If the top picture is of your house, I really like the color you have right now....See MoreWe can’t pick exterior paint color. Stuck! Please help!
Comments (9)You are on the right track as far as pulling a color from the brick for the front door area. Use the same color on the garage doors. While you will need to sample, I think you're going to find the best color to be the color of your siding. The front door is perfect. The shutters would look good in a sage green similar to the color shown in the picture Patricia posted. You could probably go darker if you like a darker color. We used BM Nantucket Gray on our previous house. It is more green than gray, contrary to the name, and also looks more green than the blob below. Sunlight brighens up colors on exteriors. Also look at SW Evergreen Fog which is very popular....See Morehoussaon
