Are you under an HOA rules? If not, then it's all a matter of trends and perception. How do YOU want the home perceived within trending color space. For Craftsman/A&C dark earth is traditional, while "painted lady" is still trendy. These guys, http://www.mickeysimpson.com/ , are a good example of trend-driven design/build in our area. And these guys, http://barnesvanze.com/ , transcend trend with high-art.

This is one of my favorite exteriors on Houzz. Lots of wonderful exterior pictures - go to Houzz search bar and select exteriors, exterior colors, etc. and you'll have tons of inspirational photos.

That is a great photo Deborah has found. Basically any sort of earthy tones would be ideal for a craftsman style.

Mickey Simpson, yes (years ago). Barnes Vanze, by reputation. My clients were mostly folks like Plant, McCaffery Interests, Antunovitch, etc. Big projects with massive budgets.

Did you see my 9050 design? Very traditional use of materials/color with a contemporary take on craftsman line.
