Color Conundrum

12 years ago

I'd really love to give this home less of a Southern California appeal and more of a Deep South feel (it's in Georgia). Our roof is new (when we bought it 2 years ago. We didn't pick the color) so that stays. I'm leaning towards a grey/green/beige color. Anyone have any Benjamin Moore colors you think would look right with our red roof?

I'm no help to you, but I absolutely adore your house. Georgia has some of the most interesting designs. My house is substancially similar here in Tennessee, minus the sky-windows, stone, angled siding, and long narrow windows that make your place truly unique.

I can't wait to see the finished product.

I'm not sure what a Deep South look is, but I think a sagey-gray would look nice with the roof color. Maybe pull a color from your stonework. You'll need to paint samples next to the stone (or on a portable board). Benjamin Moore has lots of colors in little sample jars.

A color that would look great would be a color called "La Paloma gray"- from Benjamin Moore. Hope this helps, good luck with everything!
