Need exterior paint color advice for our little ranch

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

Bought this little ranch last year and have been updating the heck out of It. Getting ready to start on the exterior color. Continued landscaping is needed but any advice on paint colors including door, window trim, shutters, and reverse batten peak? Not too fond of the tan, brown, whatever color that is reverse batten. Small budget so I don't think replacing with siding etc. is an option. Thanks!!

We just did a similar project where we picked a color from the motar between the bricks. What I would suggest here is picking colors from the roof files. Can't really tell from the pix, but maybe a variation on slate. Then if your windows can be painted, add a fun color there like maybe mango. Can you post a picture of the roof tile?
