You've got a grey roof and I love the weathered copper over the windows so I'd go with a light maroon field with crisp,white trim. That would make it really stand out in your beautiful yard.

Would you consider a yellow?

Yes, i like yellows. But maybe closer to a butter yellow?

Lighter the color, the "grander" the house will look ! Just say'n

I don't know if I would do a green , with all the greenery you have around.

Well actually I can picture a ,shade of green light, with all white trims and it will be in line with nature.Very beautiful home deserves a great paint color for sure.

What part of the world are you in? I believe designers will say any yellow not meant for your type of,house....but I might be wrong also. It is pretty just the way it is in my opinion. I could see a butter yellow which would be maybe a beige with yellow undertones. I am no designer. Curious what they will come back with.

A coupleideas! First pichouse is painted in Benjamin Moore's "Butter." Second pic is a light blue-grey.

Marymom, congrats on your new home! It is stunning. I like the Benjamin Moore's "butter" that kah416 sent as a consideration. I think on your traditional home it would be beautiful and classic. Another suggestion...your entry way doesn't stand out from your trim color. Would you consider a wood door or fiber glass door in a warm wood tone for your entry way?

Yes, I love the idea of changing the doors to define them. Given the area, i think the butter would fit best. thanks for all of your suggestions everyone! Sometimes i dont trust my instint.

Love it!! Glad you agree! Have fun and enjoy!

judging from the gray roof, it means you will need a graybased color- that need not mean a cool gray. Also since the roof is so light the body color cannot be darker than the roof. The darker the roof the more the house will hug the ground and right now it tends to being a bit over tall A dark door color will also add some weight. Both the yellow and gray above are good ideas.
