Need help with Stucco Color

14 years ago
Please anyone from houzz community. This is driving me insane. I need help with the stucco colour for my house (attached photo). We just finished renovating the inside. In six weeks we will be installing faux stone: Canyon Stone Rubble - Classic style from a company called Stone Selex. My roof colour is pewter gray (mix of light grey and some hint of black), black shutters and white siding. Current stucco is beige with pink undertone - definitely not my favourite colour. Good news is we are adding a front porch with roof overhang (same colour shingle), The siding and the shutters will come down to be replaced by stucco and trims. There will be a transition band between the stone and stucco I am looking for a warm taupe with gray undertone for the main stucco and another colour from the same family for trims, gutter, eavetrove. The inside of my house is in warm greys: BM: Revere Pewter, Sandy Hook, Boothbay grey, Covingtone Grey, Rockport Grey, Grey Horse, Grey wisps & Nantucket grey. I am hoping that the the outside and inside will have a seamless transition. There are too many choices and I am afraid I may make the wrong choice. Your help would be greatly appreciated

    Hey candecorate,

    Doug, thanks for asking. Houzz.com and Pinterest was my greatest source of inspiration. I wanted a classic gray colour stucco to go with my stone veneer and ended up selecting "Gray Cloud" against the of my hubby and my stucco guy - I dug my heels in and got away with it. In the end everyone is happy with the result and I couldn't be happier myself. After pictures are attached

    Hi Grace is the stucco colour Grey Cloud by Synergy? I'm asking because my husband and I are debating on that colour for our new house.

    Although we almost always suggest properly fitted shutters on homes (surprise!), we really like the look of your home without the shutters. The old shutters that you had seem to have taken away from the exterior. If you were to add shutters again to your home, we would recommend properly fitted, functional shutters in a Board and Batten style. But again, the "after" images look great!

    Hi Marie,
    It is Grey Cloud by Synergy. My husband initially resisted it because by just looking at a small sample, it appears to be too dark and does not do any justice to the colour. Once it was applied with all the trims etc, he finally admitted that he is glad that I dug my heels in. Good luck with your reno and paint colour selection.

    Thanks Grace it looks great! I don't know if it is my computer screen or not, but the sample we have looks MUCH lighter than it appears on my monitor. It looks great nonetheless!

    Thank you Marie,
    I agree with you, computers rarely render the true colour of the photos. I have just posted few more photos taken last fall/Halloween of my home. The exterior colours depicted in these photos are very close to actual Grey Cloud stucco colour. I love this colour just for the fact it has just the right balance, not too dark and not too light. Simply click on to Grace Pugh to take you my exterior project photos. I wish you all the best.

    We decided on the same color for our stucco on our new home. I think we made the right decision by going with the grey cloud. Just hoping it will look good with the Lafitt Alto stone in the chambord grey. Looking at some pics online, I think it will look great. Although I havent seen this stucco color with the same stone as we have picked out. Keeping our fingers crossed that it will look great. Your house looks beautiful. btw
