Why not white ? If you google the paint color you find some ideas from SW

See if you like canvas tan or stone lion paint colors. They coordinate with Fireweed.

Please post pictures

A gray house with a red barn. I googled that phrase for images and it is absolutely charming. Fireweed is a very nice red.

I apologize I didn’t receive a notification on replies.

I have big white columns on the front & thought it might need a contrast to pop more?

The barn sits right behind our house though so white might be the safest choice. I would just love a soft contrast. What do you think of the roof color with fireweed?

Yes lovely house and barn. Thanks for the photos. Why not go with your instinct? That house would be beautiful in a soft gray with white columns and trim. Stately is the word that comes to mind. The roof color has warm undertones, choose a gray with warm undertones, not blue.

Now that I see the yellow roof on the barn, you would have two primary colors in close proportion, red and yellow. Not so sure now about the Fireweed. Think about keeping the barn alone. It would be hard to find any other body color that would complement the yellow roof and gray house other than the yellow it is now. A yellow barn would go with a gray house, not a white house. Not enough contrast between two competing bright structures...white and yellow.

Thank you both!

That barn picture is deceiving, we had a storm rolling in that day & I thought the colors were beautiful! But the barn roof is the same color as house. I wished it was a little closer to black then grey but it’s something I haven’t paid attention to until now when I’m trying to decide on paint.

Phew, I am long winded aren't I? I just now logged on to delete that post. A bit much, but now that you've read it, that barn is adorable in yellow, and a matching yellow house.... you don't see that much...actually quite distinctive. Your photo of the barn would definitlely place in a photo contest...you should enter it!

People on this blog say that they want to change something and I think, why? It already looks good! And then they get a ton of different opinions and I'm like...those poor people must be so confused by now lol. But we all just want a change sometimes. :-)

I think the only advice you need is that the roofs are warm-toned so should the paint.

Have some fun, design is not supposed to be agony, do what YOU like. Go for it. Whatever you choose it's gonne be GORGEOUS!!!!!

Just gorgeous! Your home and barn look so happy! Maybe add a fireweed window box. Gray is so boring and over.

I agree!

I didn’t follow the grey trend but just chose that because it might work with fireweed paint and my roof ? When I say grey I mean a very soft light grey.
