    Trulia still had the listing photos. The first two pictures show the exterior colors (there's a later one that shows the color on the garage). Hope this helps.

      Painted my house Greenbrier Beige, with Rock Candy (a white) trim, and a Hale Navy door. All historic colors. Looks great.

      I know this is an old post but was is your exterior? Do you have a picture? I am thinking of using it too.

      Thank you so much! I know that pictures can alter colors. Does it look more green or tan in person? where you happy with the color?
    • 10 years ago

      More tan with a definite greenish undertone, but very nice. My suggestion is that you go to the Benjamin Moore store and get some samples. I'd painted big swaths of about four different colors on the back of my house so I could look at them in different lighting conditions. This led to surprising results - I rejected my first choice when I saw it on the wall (too wedding mint). My neighbors had both painted their houses medium or dark grey, and this color looks great between them.

      Thanks, I have about 8 swatches on my house now. I still have problems visualizing.
