Paint Design Dilemma Exterior

Exterior paint colors?

8 years ago

I highly dislike the blah look of my new house. There is nothing about the color that pops and I am looking for a good color to paint the concrete siding? I thought maybe a navy blue but have no idea anymore. Any advice and insight is appreciated.

Nice house! Really. Neat and trim. Good condition. Curb appeal.

Not navy. I would go with a color that is found in the brick or the mortar. It looks like that's what the previous owner tried, but didn't get it quite right.

Good luck!

Thank you! Do you think the brown trim and porch could still work if painting the siding a lighter color? Or replace that too?

I think it can work. I might even go darker - Architectural Bronze. I'll try to find some pics.

Maybe navy? This is SW Anchor's Away. Not a great rendition, but gives a rough idea.
