I know there's tons of them. The ones I tried are Behr Stone Mason Gray, which on the sample boards looked good. Also, S.W. Gray Matters, Behr Coblestone Gray. All are way way too blue. B.M. Chelsea Gray, which actually does look gray, but is pretty dark, which makes me about leery.

A creamy white body and graphite trim would look much better with the brick than the gray.

Shoemaker - North GA houssaon: Thank you for the suggestions on the pediments/ windows situation. I know my husband is possibly taking out the attic windows, as well. He will appreciate this. We already have a section of metal roof above the front porch, so we want to have metal awnings on the back porch and small awning/overhang above garage doors to keep the look cohesive. Our shaker roof is in great condition and we are not replacing it anytime soon. So, what is the problem with the brick flooring on the porch if we decide to do German schmear or use Romabio? Would it wear out faster or look ridiculous? I am new to outdoor renovating. Thank you for the landscaping idea, I have already taken out 8ft x 20ft of ground covering cypress in the front and pruned ALL bushes up front since these photos were older. It will have to do for now until it is a priority. :) I thought about painting the house SW Oyster White, but I am open to suggestions. I have a neighbor with New England style home wi/ Blue home & cream trim and greyish taupe with grey shutters and very light subtle blue on the other side. There is so much grey, blue and green on my street. I am at a standstill on the paint!!!!

Just remove the shutters and see how that looks. I don't think painting windows with black is going to enhance the house--just adds another element and you do have a brown roof, not black. A much warmer white for the middle would work better with yellow stone and brown roof. Save $$$ for a beautiful landscape design to further beautify the house. But what you have is pretty nice right now. It's important in a newly purchased house to go a year before making landscaping changes so you can see how the plantings look in all seasons. It's great you have quite a few evergreens for year round color--and no leaves to rake!
