Green Trim - Is there any way to find out the ACTUAL color used for this green trim as the one that was guessed at does not look that similar to me?
Thank you. »
Here, olive drab trims the windows and corbels on the exterior of this wood shake house. Olive needs some lightness to balance out its dark tone. The wood shingles do that job well.
1. Swap out your light fixture. It's amazing how such a simple change can completely transform the look of an entry. Even if the replacement light you choose doesn't hew strictly to the style of your home, make sure it's similar enough not to feel out of place.
Army green can also work well on your exterior trim. This green color works nicely with the wood shingles, but you could also pair it with brick, stone or other neutral-hued siding. It is a rather dark hue, so if you want contrast between the siding and trim colors, choose a lighter shade for the siding.
