Exterior paint suggestions
I’m looking to update the exterior of my home, giving it more curb appeal. I’ve never liked the slump stone so would like it to stand out less. Should I paint it the same color as the house?
Looking for suggestions on exterior paint color. I live in California and all homes seem to be white, cream or tan. I want color!
This is the last project before retirement!

Comments (4)Why not re-stain the wood - same rich coffee color as in your #2 pic. Wood has a richness and depth to it that you cant get from a plastic solid color paint film and since its already not painted its not as if any extra effort would be needed - just need to find someone who has exterior wood staining as part of their repertoire. You could switch it to a charcoal gray wood stain and then re-do your deck/railings to better harmonize.......See MoreExterior paint suggestions, please!
Comments (8)I would keep the awning over the door, although, it does need a good cleaning. Its very practical in that area. The other awning, needs to go. The house is smaller, so I would paint it white, and trim that is dark, but, not quite black. A very dark charcoal, would be nice. Once all done, some landscaping in the front and colorful plants, and it will be adorable. A small, size, but comfy chair on each side of the door, (colorful), would be nice if they would fit there. If not, two oversized pots full of pretty flowers, would be a nice touch....See Moreneed exterior paint suggestions
Comments (7)I love orange in the abstract and as a pop of color, but an orange house is a LOT, so kudos to you for changing up the exterior. I would go with a neutral to go with your fixed elements, the gutters and roof. Am I correct in assuming you're planning to paint the brick, too? There's a Sherwin Williams color called Stamped Concrete that looks great with musket brown:...See MoreNeed exterior paint suggestions
Comments (2)Your house is, no offense, a visual mish-mash right now. You have three siding types(board and batten and two different lap siding styles), three colors + white trim and then the stone. The last thing you need is yet another type of stone accent. You need to consolidate, not add more textures/colors/products. How far are you willing to go/spend? I’m assuming the garage was an add-on? The ”ideal” solution would be to get rid of the vinyl siding(it is a garbage product) and put matching hardie-board siding on the garage, then paint ALL of your siding a single color. Your cheapo vinyl siding will always look bad next to a superior product like Hardieboard right there staring it in the face....See MoreRelated Professionals

You could lean into the color of the slumpblock and paint your siding a taupe. Here‘s a pic of a house with a darker gray roof and brick approximate color of your slumpblock.

As requested, here is the house in a dark sage.
And here is with leaving the bricks as is:
I'm not sure of the exact colour of your roof which seems to have a blue tone on my computer and doesn't really work with green.
Here is with a blueish gray

last monthI like when the roof ties into the color scheme. If the siding was grey 2/3 of house would be uninterrupted so won’t feel as broken up (paint the garage as well). Hold off on painting the brick until you get a better sense of the results and if needed or not. Suggest adding a good size garden on the left that will eventually break up all the brick. Paint the front door (perhaps a soft green) to draw the eye to the entrance and garden.
