Exterior paint color advice

last month

I was experimenting with Chat GPT and wow it had some good ideas!

Without showing it my actual sunroom and just telling it colors, it created mockups for me very similar to my actual sunroom.

One thing it did cause paint the trim on the body of my siding (corners of room, etc) Sherwin Williams Maison Blanche. My siding is SW Evergreen Fog.

I love how it breaks up the Evergreen Fog. Do any designers or paint savvy others out there agree or disagree with this? Do I have too much green now and would benefit from painting these corner boards and around the doors Maison Blanche.

Also, I’m replacing the decking which will be SW taupe tone and the new doors will also be in a griege / taupe close to this color.

Thanks.

The stone gives your home a casual country feel, so the rigid and formal hedges look very out of place. I would pull those out and install a more open and airy landscape using lots of native perennials that will thrive in your locale but not become invasive. The concrete planters are also of a different era than your country home, so remove them. Consider installing some landscape lights that highlight the stone. And since the stone is so massive, I would remove the little arch details on your porch posts and beef up the posts themselves so they have adequate visual heft to stand beside the massive stone wall and look like they can support your porch. Are you replacing the roof or cleaning it? I would take care of that before choosing a siding color, and I vote to remove the shutters. You should probably upgrade the porch lighting too.

In the pic... a light gray like the roof color looks like a good color for garage doors and trim.. soft earth tones to go with brick color ... with a grayish green on the door.. or even a brighter green like the grass or a brighter apple green... a narrow brick border matching the house...to line the edge of the driveway will look a little more finished/refined as well

IMO the house already has a dark entry that will certainly not get brighter with a dark paint. I have no idea whay Colorado has much to do with paint color I would start by doing a walkway from the street to the entry a new garge door that has some windows in it maybe in a natural cedar then maybe add a bit of natural cedar to the house mayeb arounf the large window then choose a darker color and get to work on lanscaping. You do not mention your styrl but IMO this house could go MCM and so I would probably do MCM landscaping A MCM garage door and entry door . I love this landscaping and often use it for inspiration for my clients the color is also nice and could work on your home I live the lime gree for the front door it would be perfect Then no cedar just the garage door dark gray and front doot the style and color in the pic.

Can't read the names, but from your photo, I'd go with a medium gray. Either the third one from the top or the second one from the left. Just as a comment, I used Gray Huskie in a bathroom and it did not appear blue at all. In fact, I was looking for a warm gray and it worked. But depending on the light outside your house, it could look totally different.

The evergreen fog seems quite jarring against your brick and brown roof. IMO, the green is all wrong. It is too pastel.

So I also would go with the Maison Blanche for all.

If I paint the main Maison Blanche, one of the issues that prompted this was I’m having to get taupe / griege doors because the series of doors I need to custom fit the door openings doesn’t come in a color matching Maison Blanche. Does it matter if the doors on the rear of the house are a different color? Basically the new doors are the color of the decking.

Doors are not trim and can be a different color. The taupe is very nice.
