Need help with House color

10 years ago

Please help me with color scheme ideas forthe exterior of my house. I get to choose 3 colors, house,trim and one accent color. I really like navy blues or grey blues and am open to other ideas.. I don't know if I should paint the shingles a brown or not? Or do something different with front part that is different than the rest. I'm using Sherwin Williams paint.

Here are navy shingles with white and a fun pop of lime for a color combo that would be great on your house.

This would work too. Gray, white and a pop of yellow (or bright one of your choice) on the front door.

I love this! Our door is white though, should we paint it a fun color? Not sure what color? That could be our accent

I really like decoenthusiastes' suggestions. I would also add that you should paint the vertical boards on the second floor the same color as the siding. I do not think you want to accent the stripes by painting them the trim color.

I love a gray house with a bright, cheerful front door. There is one near me that is mid-tone gray with bright yellow doors. It looks fantastic. A red door also looks fantastic. Have fun with it! :)
