Eagle painting. i.am in Michigan. what is your painting advise for colors???

I wrote nice detailed post and lost it via this random keystroke thing that wipes out my posts usually right at the end after Ive spent an hour. WTH is that???? Anyway short version - keep all stucco (body of house AND the short wall around porch landing) same color . I thought you said you are keeping it gray? So why are we seeing all the blue and black and white houses? Is that original unpainted stucco, or has it been painted? Deemphasize dormer by changing siding to darker color, get rid of red and turqouise. Stick to 3-4 colors - 1 for stucco (body of house and porch wall), one for roof color (looks to be more of a green-blue-gray?), one for trim (is it paintable?) and possibly nice accent color for door + the cute little diamond patterns . No veneer - keep it simple, beauty is in the original design and proportions. Can the white trim be painted? I could see all that being a dark gray that relates to the roof color with the cement gray left as is. Recommend D/2 biological cleaner for your masonry - I was amazed at amount of algae and crud coming out of my 100 yr old cement house. So much brighter/lighter, I decided to just put on clear matte finish and not paint. If you do paint then mineral paint aka potassium silicate is best product for vintage masonry - some US sources are limeworks.us, Romabio, beeck.com

Two possibilities because you have four large visual areas: gray roof, blue siding, tan/white fence, green lawn. That's too choppy. So: --I like the blue as well. Paint the entirefence white. Add a bright colored door in yellow, red, or salmon Note the great landscaping that showcases this house. Trim your bushes down to windowsill level and start thinking about some landscaping plans to showcase your lovely blue house. --Paint house same tan to match fence so the focus is on the house, not on the fence.(Usually you get a fence to match the house not the other way around.)

Either one. I wouldn’t match the house color exactly- maybe a shade or two darker. Honestly I would focus on getting a pleasant buff or grey that looks like concrete since it is also the garage and retaining wall. It will ground the house and be easier to keep clean.
