Exterior paint colors - light colored roof

last modified: 10 years ago

Hi everyone! I've settled on a dark blue/teal (DE Before the Storm) for my front door and bright white (DE White) trim/windows/window frames. In the picture you'll see the dark blue on the bottom left.

My dilemma is the body of the house. If you look towards the bottom right of the photo you'll see: Flintstone, Gray Pearl, and Metal Fringe. Flintstone is a darker version of a color I used inside and I really like it, BUT I don't think it goes well with the roof color. Gray Pearl seems slightly too light, might be strange to have roof and body the same color, and it's not quite "earthy" enough, BUT it seems compatible with the roof. Metal Fringe is just too dark and I don't think the dark door would be able to "pop" off of it.

I definitely like to be somewhere between brown and gray, steering away from any red/pink tones. Do you like any of the three colors I've tested so far or have any other colors you think would work? At this point, I'm thinking all three colors are wrong and I need to go back to the drawing board.
