Help with exterior house trim color please
Comments (13)Hi scrappy, I agree you should do mockups for best visualization. In our area, the homes that are similar to yours- most paint their garage doors to match the siding color, and seems the most pleasing. Those that choose to paint their garage doors to match their front doors, most commonly a black or a dark color, end up with a garage that looks llike a big black hole. On my monitor your siding and trim look fine, but it may look alot different IRL. I like it as it, or if it seems mismatched to you, try the white trim idea, but I'd keep the garage door to match the siding and agree to paint the boxes under the windows all one color, no outlining. Also agree your front door/entry would stand out, and look more inviting if you painted it a pretty light/bright color....See Moreplease help with exterior paint color and trim
Comments (3)I like your current colors as they coordinate with the roof. If you want to change to Sandy Hook Gray it looks like it would also coordinate with the brown roof. Not Rockport though....See MorePlease help choose exterior paint color for brick house with tan roof
Comments (1)Oh and I should add that this isn’t how the landscaping currently looks. We had just removed overgrown bushes, which have now been replaced. This is just the only photo I have on hand at the moment....See MorePlease help me with paint color for my housing exterior!!
Comments (9)Yes, that is a very peachy orange color. I first thought neutral bone/beige but your photo with the lower stone section seems to have a lot of red tones, even in the darker brick. I'm no expert so i would be relying on sample cards, in various tones, and taping them against the brick to view. Some might obviously not work but those that do might be worth a sample pot painted onto large sheets and go through the process again......See Morelantern88
