    Stained my house these same colors three years ago and painted my front door that same shade of green. Still love it. Greenery and flowers pop against the dark, rich siding.

    Which white did you use for the trim?

    I used Dunn Edwards whisper throughout the interior, and I think that's what is on the exterior too.

    Thank you. I cannot get Dunn Edwards where I live. Do you know an equivalent color from Benjamin Moore?

    Although the photo colors look identical to what I did, my house was actually a semisweet chocolate brown color with cream trim and a chartreuse-lime green door. I no longer live there and don't have the stain colors, but it was very nice, and found at the Sherwin Williams store. I would suggest that if you decide to go that dark on the siding, to make the white very creamy. Mine was too white the first go-round, and I had to have it re-done. There was too much contrast and it looked dead and cheap.

    I don't know exactly what the equivalent would be in Benjamin Moore, but white dove seems to be a very popular choice. The best option is to buy some white samples and paint them next to the color on the house. On my house, depending on the light, the exterior ranges from looking dark green to a medium grey, so put up some samples before you commit. Good luck.
