Exterior Design - New Roof/Gutters and Trim Color - Tudor Home
I'm planning to replace my shingle roof and it's an opportunity to change the exterior design of the house. I'm looking for suggestions on a new color scheme for the roof/gutters and trim work. Do you have any suggestions ideas? I'm thinking of a dark brown roof and dark brown trim for a more modern aesthetic with more contrast. Consider charcoal architectural shingle roof and black trim? Not open to changing the color of the exterior stucco (it's in good shape and that's too much work).

last monthYour home is beautiful. Go for a grey-black, or brown-black trim. Pure black and white is going to look too harsh and like a failed attempt to turn your home into a modern farmhouse look. Same for your roof - not pure black but black-ish. Most importantly, they don't have to match each other exactly. Probably more interesting if they do not.
This black seems to harsh.
This brownish black seems better.

Need Help choosing roof color for Tudor Home
Comments (28)I think I'd also check out something with a bit more brown to it than the grays have. Drawing from the look of a weathered thatched roof to pick up on the cool brown of the trim and connect more with the warm brown stone. Also since you're considering moving from the cool white to a warmer colored stucco. Beautiful home! Have always admired the tudors....See MoreExterior paint colors for tudor w/ blue roof
Comments (1)I think I would just use the colors of the brick and stone for the siding I see the blue quite clearly on the gables , such a weird choice for roof color but oh well . I think I might add some blue landscaping to bring the roof into the picture since it is there and not going anywhere. A nice walkway from the street to take your eye to something besides the roof....See MoreDo you paint gutters? Exterior paint and trim color

last monthHere are some Tudor houses with different colors. There is a lot of variety out there. I agree with @houssaon that black is too severe.
Medium gray trim

last monthHere are brown Tudors. I think the light trim is more “modern” and the browns look more old English countryside.
