I also have a very high foundation. It was an ugly battleship gray before the house was painted. My house is a sage green with ivory trim and dark green shutters. The foundation is a beigy gray now.

Thanks! That looks really nice. What color is it?

We matched our siding.

It's Sherwin Williams 6074 Spalding Gray. It actually has a bit more brown to it than you can see from the chip.

I felt like the previous battleship gray made it look like the house floated above the ground whereas the new gray feels more connected to the earth. You don't really notice the foundation as much now, you notice the house.

While it may work on some houses, in my particular case painting it the same color as the siding would have looked odd.

any way that I could see the image link you have? It seems to have expired.
