What color siding on new detached garage

11 years ago

We are in the process of having a detached stick built two car garage built. It is going to be a front gable with two garage doors. Size is 24 wide X 26 deep. The garage will be next to the house ( 7 feet away from the house) and the front of the garage will stick out 8 feet in front of the house.

We really would like to do another color of siding besides white, but I don't know that any other will look good.

Should we just stick with white siding or does anybody have suggestions on another color.

I took some quick photos of the house. The dirt you see next to the house is where the garage will be.

I'd look at something in a medium gray with white trim and doors.

I would have garage painted the same color as the (brick) house and the same trim. I would not have the garage forward of the house. You risk it having more presence that the house itself.

I agree, make the garage siding the same as the colour of house (redish bricks) and use white trims, soffit and eaves trough for accents. Garage door colours would look nice with white. Keep the garage consistent to the house.

Please feel free to comment on my post for garage door colours listed around Aug 12. thanks!
