Please help! Choose a paint color for the exterior of my home.
Please help me pick a color...... I know "ouch" it hurts your eyes.
The home was built in 1995 and is contemporary on the interior.
Set in Vermont on a heavily wooded piece of land.
Large open front yard with a centerpiece maple.
The exterior is wood siding.
Roof is bronze (dark brown).
Unfortunately, we can not afford to change out the windows so they will remain white. The windows can not be painted.
The front stairs will be replaced and stained to match the back deck (no clue what color).
For the foundation, we will most likely go with a faux stone.
Landscaping is a minimal option as there is a stone wall to one side (right) and the left has a planting area, however, that is where the snow falls from the roof and piles up throughout the winter.
I appreciate all advise and input.

Help me choose new home exterior door colours please :)
Comments (8)The advice I have seen would be similar to this: the garage should not be the focal point but rather, should blend in. So you would select a color that would cause it to disappear against the siding material. The front door should be highlighted either with color or interesting features such as attractive planters, lighting, etc. Pretty sure most advice would call for selecting one “visually heavy” material (either brick or stone) but not both. And I believe they would recommend not having the stone facade run up toward the roof of just one area (because it’s a visually heavy or grounded material it should stay low to the ground). These are suggestions I have read over the past couple of months and learned from reading various books. I’m not a pro or a designer....See MorePlease help choose exterior paint colors for house with tan roof
Comments (10)I think a shade of green would look great with the brick and roof colors. Check out Sherwin Williams mountain road.....it is a green with a lot of greige/beige in it. I would consider SW loggia siding with SW mountain road shutters, and a darker color for the front door, such as SW porpoise.

Comments (4)There is no way of knowing how a color will look on your house by seeing someone elses you have tested both now you need to decide . Post your picture in a comment wait until it is no longer grayed then submit but really there is no way to know and the picture above shows nothing to guage the color by. LFG to me has no blue undertones if that helps....See MoreI am needing help choosing exterior paint colors for my home.
Comments (1)I have removed all shrubs in the front. The front door is set back and hard to see but same stain as the shutters. And the stone is the same on both sides of the garage. I have no idea of paint colors and was wondering if i should do a trim contrast? The gutters along the house match the shutters as well....See More

Weston Flax for the front door.
For the thin veneer foundation stone, you are living in the right state! Check out some of your local stone yards for Vermont limestone. Lots, and lots of colors. For instance, if you painted the house blue:
