I personally think it is a mistake to only think in terms of the one area. Remember, when a door is opened, its color shows into that other area. Also, that whole room becomes visible from some viewpoint simultaneously with the other area. Whatever the white chosen, makes sure it is agreeable with other color choices in the house. Using a common woodwork color will simplify your life, and ultimately lower your painter's estimate for your job. Also keep in mind that many of the "clear" white colors contain little or no lamp black or raw umber. What this means is that you sacrifice the covering ability of that white, i.e. you may well have to do 2 coats to get the old woodwork color blanked out.

We just installed new Window World windows (using their "beige" trim) and will be putting a new roof, soffit and fascia on this small brick house. Would love to receive your suggestions on color(s) to make this home pop. The new roof will be architectural shingles in "Estate Grey" which is a blend of medium and dark grey shingles. We will be painting the new soffit and fascia. It looks like the old soffit and fascia was painted white. We will be repainting the window trim (which is currently an unknown dark creamy beige which does not look particularly good with the new window trim color). We will be repainting the shutters (which are currently dark New Orleans green which does look good with the brick--we just want to consider other colors for a new look). We want to change the color of the (concrete) porch landing and steps (currently painted a dark brick red). Our painter has suggested a dark grey for the landing and steps--a nod to the color of the new roof. The screen door is old--but still usable, so we will need to repaint it. The front door (which you can barely see in the photo) is the same dark creamy beige as the window trim and will need to be repainted. The old copper gutters will be coming off. The iron railing will remain, and it will also be painted -- probably the same color as whatever we paint the shutters. No one in the family has an eye for this, so any suggestions for color of soffit, fascia, window trim, shutters and porch would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Anne in Baton Rouge
