Help! Exterior paint colors

9 years ago

The painter has already primed the trim and I started having second thoughts about keeping the trim and shutters the colors that they are.
Any ideas for a new color scheme? Or paint color names by sherwin Williams to maintain the current look?

We are considering adding a stone walk to the front, so I thought about playing on the brown/gray tones.
Also considering either replacing the front door or just painting it black. (Getting rid of the iron storm door)

We need some curb appeal!

White trim, blue or green shutters will look different.

White trim and this for shutters.
S.W. 7504

Paint your front door black…not loving all that iron look on the white door, but do it in a high gloss finish…you will still see the wrought iron…almost a 3-D effect.

Paint the sidelights black, as well.

Cati, I really like your current colors with the pretty brick...classic. Reminds me of this house I found here on Houzz. I agree with Judy regarding the black door and sidelights. One suggestion is to paint the downspouts to blend with the brick.

Thanks for the advice!
JudyG designs, I think painting the sidelights black with the door will really help! I'm going to test some paint colors to see if I like lighter shutters too.
Chloebud, great idea regarding the downspouts. I hadn't realized how much they glare at you when painted white!
