I would do them white.

I like the white. But, if you don't, a lighter green would be nice.

Thanks, sounds like the white seems okay. This is just primed right now (although the primer color is about the same color as the trim) so we could change the final coat color to green if we wanted. Maybe white is the right choice, though.

I agree...white. If the trim is white than I see the posts as trim and they should be white also.

White, unless you are bringing any wood elements to the house such as shutters. If you have cedar shutters, I could see the post wrapped in cedar.
Pretty color.

Stick with white or with what johnatemp says.

Once you add porch furniture, (and possibly stain your concrete,) the area will not look so "white" anymore.

I don't mind the posts white, although I think that what bothers me is the horizontal area above the posts- to me should be white, or lighter if the posts are white!

No wood elements, so it sounds like white is definitely the right way to go. Good point that once we add the barbecue and furniture and other things it'll break up the space some more.

Oh, and the horizontal area I think isn't so bad now, here's the picture today now that they've installed the gutters:

Do you think the white gutters sufficiently camouflage the horizontal area, or would it still look better painted a lighter color?

The white posts look right, and I agree that the horizontal facia needs to be white as well. I would also paint the ceiling of the porch area in the white, or a light blue, to bring light into the space that will also keep the inside of the house in that area from feeling as dark as well.

Love the house color!

I love the idea of painting the ceiling. snowyshasta, what color is your house? It is wonderful.

Gutters! That ties the columns in nicely. And, I agree that the horizontal needs to be painted white. Love the light blue porch ceiling idea from les.

BTW - I thought that corner of the house looked familiar, and then it dawned on me that it looks like a house for sale in my neighborhood. Take a look at the below photo and then the link to the listing. I was curious if this is your house plan. Although your home has much more character IMO.

Thanks for the feedback! The color is from a Northwest company called Rodda - I'm not sure how common they are elsewhere in the country. It's called Hampstead (8477).

Newhomebuilder, that angle does look a lot like our house plan! It's not the same, although that house does look beautiful. Ours was built in 1990 and I don't think was a spec home (most of the neighborhood was built in 1987). We bought it in 2003 and are adding on some square footage now that our family has grown. Since we had to paint the new portion of the house, and the existing paint was flaking in some areas, we went ahead and repainted instead of trying to match the previous (IMHO boring beige) color.
