Our house colours weren't match accordingly and we need your help to help them blend better. First photo is the colours we wanted them to look like. The second is what they turned out as.
we love the stone and the white siding, please help with what we can change the blue and the poopy brown window trim to.
Actually any suggestions are appreciated.
Please Help!

Your stone is warmer/tanner than the stone in your example photo, so I suspect it would look better with a warmer shade of gray in place of the bluish gray you have on your gables currently. That might be enough change to get things right, although if you asked for charcoal windows and got brown, then they should fix that too.

Ok thank you!
We do have black trimmed windows but then the poopy brown is the trim around it and is taking away from the black trim.
What would you suggest we change the poopy brown colour to?
A charcoal colour or match it to the soffit/facia which is a grey tan colour??

ah, I see -- I think it should match the soffit/trim color. Current color looks like a near miss. (too much area for the darker color, i think)

That's what we were thinking too.
One more question please, what do you think about the front posts? leave them white or put them the same colour as the trim?

I would change the poppy window color! Not sure what color. Would the same color as your window be too dark and not provide the contrast you are looking for?

Or I think you just need a color that is more blue/gray and less taupe, your sample picture is gorgeous, as is your house.

I think the front posts are too white. Agree, paint them the same color as the trim.

What do think about pulling the darkest color from your stone for the window trim? You already have the roof color, color from the siding and the gables, stone shades and window trim. I would not add another color to the facade.
