My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help Picking Exterior Paint: Sherwin Williams

10 years ago

Hello! We are building a home and I am driving myself crazy over the exterior paint colors. We can have up to 4 colors, 1 for body, trim, accent and door. I don't know that I want to use 4 different colors but I might if it looks good. Also, I really want a red door. I like Sherwin Williams Anonymous and Gauntlet Gray but I am not opposed to lighter colors. I don't love beige for the exterior though.


I have to choose from Sherwin Williams Paint. Here is a picture of the house we are building. I will also post a photo of a house which has a lovely color scheme (but only two colors). Could I get away with only two colors for this style?

Here is a color I like

Any help I can get will be appreciated. Thank You!
