Exterior House Color choices

12 years ago

last modified: 12 years ago

Hi!
We started painting our house this summer Studio Clay by Behr Margque. For some reason this color is a lot more beige than we thought it would be as the house is painted. We are looking for colors for trim and doors (statement colors) that would make it look more the neutral clay color.
Here is a link to the color online,

Thanks!

sorry here you go! I know the red wood looks nice on the picks but it is full of bad patch jobs of woodpecker holes done by the previous owners. We would like to make it a little bit more modern looking, i think Earth Midcentury would be the best description!?!?!?! :)

Great house! Are you painting everything -- siding and trim? Redwood likes stain much better than paint. I see some lighter color left of the chinmey.

We are painting the whole thing. Its cedar that has some really cracked up spots so we are having to putty those up so a stain wouldnt really be consistent on the outside
