I think the gray on those houses is attractive, as is ceezee's. I like colors that set off the landscape colors, including various shades of green, and gray is one that does. You can also find a house in real life you like and try to get the paint color name from the owners. SW can color match if it's a different brand.

Thank you for the suggestions @ decoenthusiaste, @ Momofthree Ma and @ Beth H. We are on a limited budget, so we won't be able to replace the siding. Do either of you have suggestions on the best way to add window trim? Will we need to have someone remove part of the siding and re-flash the windows to do this Also, do you have any suggestions for what we could do with the steps? We don't have a budget to build a porch, but could make some minor mods to this structure. We will be adding some landscaping this fall.

Very much like the medium blue and the darker blue and the dark reddish brown and either of the last two suggestion of cawaps as long as any of them have the matching wood for the door and garage doors. IF, however, you paint the garage doors, then paint the garage doors the same color as the house exterior walls. The darker colors look better. What is your favorite color? Take a look in your closets. What colors do y'all buy most often for your clothes?

We just installed new Window World windows (using their "beige" trim) and will be putting a new roof, soffit and fascia on this small brick house. Would love to receive your suggestions on color(s) to make this home pop. The new roof will be architectural shingles in "Estate Grey" which is a blend of medium and dark grey shingles. We will be painting the new soffit and fascia. It looks like the old soffit and fascia was painted white. We will be repainting the window trim (which is currently an unknown dark creamy beige which does not look particularly good with the new window trim color). We will be repainting the shutters (which are currently dark New Orleans green which does look good with the brick--we just want to consider other colors for a new look). We want to change the color of the (concrete) porch landing and steps (currently painted a dark brick red). Our painter has suggested a dark grey for the landing and steps--a nod to the color of the new roof. The screen door is old--but still usable, so we will need to repaint it. The front door (which you can barely see in the photo) is the same dark creamy beige as the window trim and will need to be repainted. The old copper gutters will be coming off. The iron railing will remain, and it will also be painted -- probably the same color as whatever we paint the shutters. No one in the family has an eye for this, so any suggestions for color of soffit, fascia, window trim, shutters and porch would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Anne in Baton Rouge
