New Colonial Exterior - Need Suggestions
13 years ago
last modified: 13 years ago
We are doing a complete renovation of this house inside and out.
Improvements of the exterior will be:
- New roof
- New larger windows with wood grilles
- New portico with square columns and copper roof sealed to retain its color
- No shutters
Need help with the Hardie Plank (HP) color selection. We wanted the house to be grey but find the HP "Light Mist" to be too light and "Iron Grey" too dark. What do you think of "Boothbay Blue" instead? Trying to avoid the Beiges.
Plan on painting over the brink to match the siding, any suggestions?

- 11 years agoWe just had our new home sided in Boothbay Blue. We love it and have gotten numerous compliments on it. It is not too blue , it is warm and has a good amount of grey in it. Good luck!
