Paint Building a Home Design Dilemma

Help please! What color trim paint should I use with bronze gutters?

2 months ago

My husband and I are building a new home in GA. It’s a modified version of Amicalola Garrell house plan. I’ve been to SW for paint samples and even tried color matching the bronze gutter but it turned out too grey. To those of you who’ve used bronze gutters with dark trim can you please share your paint color? Any advice would be appreciated.

The stone sample is Eldorado Charleston Mountain Ledge. I’ve already puchased the stone so I have to stick with it. The house is mostly brick with the exception of rock on the front porch, columns and large gable on the left. I do have shakes in the other gables too. Sorry, I didn’t realize the roof was covered with snow in the picture but it’s GAF Weathered Wood. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, for the ideas, Outside. Do a darker sage instead of black? Hmm yeah I could see that! The spouse was a little alarmed when I suggested black. :) Really, everything goes with the roof. It's quite neutral. The bricks aren't so neutral but not too bad as long as we don't do as the POs did and pick the ugliest one and match the paint to it. Yes, the cheap new windows installed by the PO are sort of cream colored vinyl clad (with 80s French blue trim--where's my goose in a bonnet?). In the back they are still simple aluminum framed. With blue trim. We do have a lot of stuff going on with the brick, stucco, cedar, siding...I had to tone down my landscaping materials because it was going to be just too many things fighting.

I like the idea of a black door, to match your shutters. You already have additional color in your cushions, and can also add colors with seasonal flowers. Make sure when you paint your door to also paint that raised oval trim around the glass insert.

What is meant by "bronze"? Is it copper? Is it a brown painted aluminum? A photo of it with the other colors would help.

It’s a dark brown with a little shine to it. I’ll get a picture of the sample next to my brick tomorrow. Its been rainy here all day. Thanks!
