On SW website it says Dhurrie Beige is for interior only. Look at Pavillion Beige as an alternative.

I like the current trim color and the stain on the clapboards. I would keep that. Otherwise, paint the siding a light color and match the trim around the door to the siding.

Love the green. Can you remove the miniblinds?

I like it the way it is.

IMO the brick makes the house so painting it will instantly devalue the home . Get rid od tjhe blinds and get a new front door no staorm door . If you need a screen get a Phantom . The see if you want a different color at all. I for sure would not do beige . The windows look ,like some are black and others brown that could be just a trick of the light. If you really want a change go charcoal or a very dark bronze . I really dislike the windows on the sides of the door I would spend my money on the entry with a nice modern double door lots of glass in either the dark charcoal or the dark bronze BTW I never like blue with brick

I love the green option that @Paul F. posted. The shades chosen are very ”woodsey” like your house.

I think a beige will give a huge “blah” feeling to the house. Using a contrasting color (like the green and blue Paul posted) helps define the amazing angles of your house. The brown is also not “enhancing” the interesting parts.

I agree--the green that Paul posted looks very nice. I would leave the brick alone; brick is back in, and yours is a nice color. I like your house!

I like the first one Paul posted, all colors coordinate nicely, but still interesting.

growing something to compliment the wall would be stunning.

either on the ground in front, or attach a trellis and create a pattern of greenery, lots of options.

Thank you all. We wish we knew the color of the first of Paul F pictures. I do t think the HOA will allow us to paint green. Now we are leaning towards leaving it a similiar color, maybe not as dark? Or maybe darker? Currently it matches the dark spots in the brick.

Also, we don’t have mini blinds. The house has shutters albeit not wide ones. Do they need to go? We like that we can block out our rooms from the south facing sun in our bedrooms, living rooms and sunroom. Those are the rooms in the front of the house.

Also the front screen/storm door will be going. our front door is wood. Heres a pic

Thank you all for your valuable suggestions and advice. We are trying to modernize the house. Michele

This color dark gray color with a bluish tint posted by Paul F. looks gorgeous with your plantings and stones.

I think the house is beautiful just the way it is. I would keep the same colors you already have.

I like the green paw posted too

I do like the dark colors suggested. But I would paint the trim around the door and the sidelights the same color as the sifding so they don't stick out in a bad way.

Check your HOA regulations enforce going any further- let us know what your options are.

They allow colors already used in the community, e.g., various shades of grays, beiges, tans, browns, stucco. We were hoping to make it more modern. It currently looks like a cabin. We like it but vacillate between lightening it up some, thinking that might look less severe and searching for a color that would give it a more modern appearance. Now Im wondering about a cocoa brown instead of it being so dark. Currently the grout in the brick, has a pin/reddish tone is some areas, and in other areas its tan. That was why we originally were going to paint it.

Thanks agwin for all of your help.

Tan will work good.

I also like it the way it is, I think it's a fabulous-looking house. That brown brick is one of the easiest colors to work with landscaping-wise. Add a few red accents (porch furniture, pottery, flowers) and pow!

IMO it starts to look bland without a lot of contrast with the brick, lighter brown makes it look even more like a cabin... although a very nice cabin. Based on what I saw in photoshop it starts to look GREAT when there is a dark, more saturated pretty color, literally ANY pretty color as you can tell by others reactions to my varied color choices above... they all have a fan. If I could color match my favorite suit and be assured it would look good on my house, I'd do it. Color match that favorite dress! It's a unique opportunity to personalize your house, be bold and go for it.

Thank you Paul F . I havent figured out how to see your reaction to the above colors. My favorite color was a warm white (Alabastet?) but friends told me it would be too stark, especially if we were to paint the brick wall around the front patio. Id like opinions on what was my originla colors, alabaster with SW7008 and Anew Gray 7030, or the reverse, painting the house Anew Gray with the eaves Alabaster. Anew gray is taupey.

And i wish i could also see the house in Dhurrie Beige. It was reccommended that we do not paint the trim and gutters a different color. Is it true if its all one color it would look more modern? We agree the lighter color under the eaves especially by the front door.

Again, thanks so much to everyone for the help we sorely need.

I dont know how to find reactions
