Need new paint colors for exterior!

11 years ago

Hello all! Can you please suggest some paint colors for the exterior of this home? We would like to lighten it up. This stucco home faces south and is in Louisiana. Any suggestions for paint, trim and front door would be appreciated! Thank you!! :)
