Personally, I would like green on body of house, cream on trim, and keep same color on roof.

Hi tippie,

You need to look in the sage greens i think. Cream as second color would be good against it but nothing too vibrant. As a details color a muted cherry could work well but i do also like your idea of using a second green for a subtle effect.

SW 0015 Gallery Green

SW 2812 Rookwood Jade

SW 6306 Cordial

I think i'd go the darker green on all exterior walls plus the dormer, and the lighter inside the porch. Not sure that the Gallery Green is quite right but i do rather like the softer Rookwood Jade. You'll need to get a few sample pots and test to see how they behave at various times in the day - computer screen renderings of colors are notoriously capricious especially when confronted with the real thing and outside daylighting.

**Nice trio sacapuntaslapioz

So, could look well against sacapuntaslapioz's BM Lilly Pad if you're wanting to keep the pallete

lighter. Also you never know how a color will swing so when testing don't forget to wait until it dries before panicking^^. A water based paint will look much darker when first applied but will dry far lighter and an oil paint will darken.

A rougher surface will also make a paint appear darker as it casts micro shadows, so you'll be juggling with all that - good luck :)

Magada, recommended by BM;-)

Gosh saca, i wasn't even aware that BM knew of my existence, let alone that they recommend me ;)

That happens when you are lazy typing ;-))

Dang! - and for a moment i thought ...

Oh!!!!;-((

There's a wonderful book called Bungalow Colors: Exteriors that really helped me make color choices for my previous Craftsman home. Here's my favorite combination of colors--a mossy green, vellum beigey yellow, and what we used to call "Indian red":

I like the idea of green. I did our rental in this a long time ago. Cream/white trim. Green body.

@tippie64 My guess is Rookwood Blue Green from Sherwin Williams, or something close to that. They have some good combination ideas in their "America's Heritage" historic colors.
