Thanks KW230 . . . . that looks VERY close!

Hello, we really need to paint our 1926 home. I hate the current color. Almond and maroon... not my style. But I think those colors match the reddish-brown roof. We are looking for ideas that will match the roof, but want to stay away from beiges and browns and almond colors. My husband was thinking a gray would be nice, but our interior colors are all shades of gray. I was thinking a white and a bluish-green trim color. I'm drawn to cooler colors, but not sure if any will work with that roof. Eventually we will be replacing the roof and changing it to a more charcoal tone. I'd also like to stain our front stoop another color other than concrete. We are open to any and all ideas. I was given an internal deadline of March 1 to pick a color. :) Help us!! Thank you!!

"...Also we are a bit concerned that the roof may be a bit too encompassing..." You are right! Fortunately, we humans never seen buildings in 2-D elevations, such as depicted on drawings. The purpose of these drawings is convey needed information about the construction of a building, and not to illustrate what a building will actually look like in 3-D. For that, perspectives are necessary. So your huge roof will not look as huge and overbearing as it appears on the elevations. But it will dwarf your house and dominate your view of the house. Unfortunately, this is a common occurance when a drafter or CAD operator designs a house by unilaterally focusing on a floor plan, and thereafter simply plopping roof trusses on the walls of the floorplan. Looking at your roof plan, and floor plan outline, there's a quick and easy approach for a completely different roofing scheme which would greatly reduce your roof massing, but it requires eliminating or changing the roof over what I assume is a back porch. I hope natural light in the interiors of your house is not a major criterion, since you appear to have a very large, deep house, almost square in shape. It's going to be dark in there, regardless of your orientation.

In order to replicate the last picture, wouldn't you need to get all new windows and doors? It doesn't look like your windows are black. Were you planning on replacing your windows? The white and black look is done a lot. If you're not going to replace your windows, think about a lighter and less yellow-peach body color and contrasting trim in taupe instead of the green in the first inspiration picture. I like the green doors, but I don't think I would like green trim all over the house.
