Paint Design Dilemma

exterior paint color ideas

2 years ago

Hello. We need help with choosing colors for the exterior of our condo building. It is located on a canal off the intracoastal in south Florida. The front of the building faces North and the rear faces South. The pool area faces East and recently redone with this warm travertine. The pool furniture is turquoise and sand colors. The roof needs to remain white. Thanks.

The travertine will now drive the colors IMO since it is a warm look I like green with brick and a bit sagey is nice and can work well with both the brick and the travertine a really light shade to work best in the FLA sun

I would go with the lightest color in the travertine, but if you want to go with color the pinker tones in the travertine will complement blue greens. Green gray may also be an option.

Below are some samples, but don't trust the colors will look exactly the same in person in sunlight. Colors tend to get much more vivid in natural daylight, so you have to test colors to find what works.

what are you plans w/the garage? what do you think about getting some glass inserts in the top row, or even some type of hardware? this color and style of door would look amazing w/your brick. I also like the darker trim colors what if you did a lighter siding and darker trim/doors? I love these colors. SW Mountain Road is the perfect color to work w/your brick. gray w/a hint of green. Ditto the Reserved White color. It's a nice white that leans on the gray side. for the garage doors, try Urbane Bronze, and maybe even the roof fascia. here are some other colors. you could also do a gray that has plum tones. (hence this plum color pot that looks great w/your brick) I gave you a dark gray garage door (with windows and hardware) and one in white. to warm it up, use a natural wood plaque w/your address on it have you thought about doing some sage green/grays? these all look nice. would work w/the roof color too
