Exterior house color

10 years ago

I live on the west coast of FL and stuck on what color to paint my house, large 2 car garage door(white), partially brick front(cream) and tangerine and what do I do with the driveway? There is beige tile on the walk leading up to the front door. The roof is almost 2 years old and its in tan/brown/taupe shades. I have river rock in the plant beds with large bright(red/yellow/green) crotons and yucca plants in the beds in front of house. Looking for suggestions please.

Your first consideration is the roof. You need to coordinate with the roof color.

Also, if the driveway color is not change-able, then you will need to find a color that works with both the roof and the driveway.What is the driveway material, and what color is it (It's hard to tell from my monitor and the photo).? If it is cement, you might be able to dye it a new color, but sorry, I really know nothing about that.

If the driveway can be changed, I would make the driveway something very neutral like a pale tan. Then the house color could be pastel (since you are in a warm weather place) yellow, green, or blue, or maybe even a light coral.

I agree with smileyface. You have to match the roof first. I would do a cream color to match the tan. Here is a beautiful home with a tan roof.

I also agree with smileyface. If you have to keep the driveway, my choice for house color would be a pale green.
