Would you stick with the briarwood for the entire outside (stucco and siding) or pick two complementary colors? Yes. Don't do two colors. It would chop up the aesthetic. One color will have more curb appeal impact. btw I am loving the SW alpaca color SW7702. Do alpaca and briarwood complement each other? Technically, yes. You'd have to test carefully and check the pair under different lighting conditions because Alpaca could shift purplish.

maddie260 I'm not sure it's always the #1 consideration. In my case, the grade of paint is often not considered at all. Many painters will bid and include a cheaper, usually average grade. Homeowners typically know nothing about paint and leave it up to the painter - wouldn't even think to ask about it if it weren't for me making it an issue. So, it's an ongoing discussion for me. Painters saying the top tier, luxury brands are a waste of money and me pushing back because I know the better paints will make the color selections I was hired to choose render accurately and look better overall. Which is the reason for the infographic. I need the data to demonstrate that the top tiers and luxury brands are more affordable priced per square foot than many painters think they are. Plus, it's hard to argue with data. And it comes in handy when the painter starts in with the "I have 20 years of experience and XYZ average paint has always worked fine" schtick. I don't have time to argue about interior paint products. I need 'em to do what I need 'em to do and get it done the way I want it done. Fun2BHere I'm in Phoenix and there are a couple BenM stores and several ACE stores that do sell BenM. The BenM pro stores aren't exactly close to me and altho the ones around here are very nice, an ACE Hardware just isn't the same as a real Benjamin Moore pro/dealer store. lascatx I know what you mean. The BenM stores here close at 5:30. I either have to trek over there first thing in the morning or on Saturday morning.

Is this the look you want? Lots of pictures with the color combo you are looking at on colonials. https://www.google.com/search?q=white+colonial+black+shutters+red+door&client=firefox-b-1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj6hPzY9_bbAhVMS60KHYbtBuIQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1536&bih=729 As for the white color to pick - I think you'll find a bright white is too white when outside. Otherwise most paint manufactures have one called Bright White or something very close to it. Realize that where you live, the surroundings, the light etc. will be influencing how the color looks too.

I’ve been hoping for SW Silverpointe and SW Passive to have a color baby and I think BM Oystershell just might be that offspring! Maybe. :) Oystershell lands deeper into the Green-Yellow (GY) Hue Family. It's closer to Greeen (G) and it's lighter and brighter - look at Value and LRV to compare lightness and brightness. Passive has the least amount of Chroma out of the 3. Which could explain the blueness. Chroma quantifies colorfulness/grayness, clean/dirty, vivid/dull
