Comments (4)I would go with no shutters at all. I'm not fan of painting brick but it looks like you've already passed that threshold. Based on that I would: 1) Paint the brick a soft white (you don't want it to look too stark. 2) Paint the windows a light taupe like in your inspiration photo. 3) If it's not too late adding a fourth column with all four evenly spaced would help balance that area of the house. It's probably not needed for support but the look would be enhanced. They and whatever trim you do over the garage could be painted black.

Comments (10)Hi T Lee, I love your house! I don't think you need a lighter color, but I think the issue with the Mindful Gray is that your roof and stonework make it look greenish, at least on my computer screen. You might try a more neutral gray, such as SW Gray Screen; if you have a sample of your stone, you could bring it to the paint store and choose what looks best with it. In any case, be sure to paint a big sample on your house before you decide. I think all black works well for your door and sidelights, white would just be an unnecessary distraction. (You may also need to tweek the undertones of your white trim - ask in the paint store which white goes best with the gray that you select. Good luck, this is a problem that it would be fun to have!...See MoreHelp! Exterior Paint Color Dilemma
