Hello, we really need to paint our 1926 home. I hate the current color. Almond and maroon... not my style. But I think those colors match the reddish-brown roof. We are looking for ideas that will match the roof, but want to stay away from beiges and browns and almond colors. My husband was thinking a gray would be nice, but our interior colors are all shades of gray. I was thinking a white and a bluish-green trim color. I'm drawn to cooler colors, but not sure if any will work with that roof. Eventually we will be replacing the roof and changing it to a more charcoal tone. I'd also like to stain our front stoop another color other than concrete. We are open to any and all ideas. I was given an internal deadline of March 1 to pick a color. :) Help us!! Thank you!!

Thanks for the comments. goluscombe - You are right - it is something else for sure. Not really this, and not really that. It is a fully custom home in every respect, for better or worse, but it does have some Mediterranean influence I think - but it is surely modern/contemporary. Inside it is clean lines and similar to an art gallery with very large rooms and large walls suited for big pieces of art. Perhaps I should have titled my post differently but I didn't know what to say. We don't want to try and replicate the traditional Spanish style with red tiled roof look as that is not this house and it does have a dimensional asphalt shingle roof in a pewter color. To be fair, I really don't know what we are after but we do want a light color that will go with the dark bronze of the windows and look fresher and more up to date. The existing color is dull and just too "brown" for us. It looks dated and tired to us.

It could be many colors with your roof. The only color I would not use is cool gray. I would like it in a brighter shade of white and paint the wood sections the same color as the stucco. It looks like you have tried out a greenish gray and that would work also.

Hi! I have a traditional 2 story. My home currently is on the left but I’m having new taupe siding being installed soon and new landscaping in 3 weeks! It’s not totally farmhouse modern but it is definitely much better than the grey/blue the previous owners had!
