exterior paint selection
I would love to get your opinions on exterior paint selection. We are repainting the exterior of our house. the first floor front exterior wall is mainly cream/off white lime stones. here is a photo of how it looks currently (the top siding is in olive green). We need to repaint front 2nd floor and the whole of back of the house. We are thinking of using stonington gray for sidings and soffit and kendall charcoal for trim and fascia.
now I am having second thoughts for several reasons:
- do these new colors go well with the creamy/light brown stones?
- we are in central TX w/ really bright sun light, would the stonington look too light, almost white, in the bring sun light. and the lime stones and the stonington don't provide enough contrast for either to stand out
- is the light color easy to show dirt & dust
would love your feedback! thx & happy holidays!

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agowho picked that olive green on the first go around? prob the worst color choice w/your natural stone. I do love your windows and door though. looks very nice below the green siding.
That color option that RawketGirl did looks really nice. I don't know if Kendall Charcoal would be a good match. colors on here can look different. I like Kendall and have it in my own home, but don't know about it w/your limestone. The best way is to grab some samples and paint it on a portion of the siding so you can see what it looks like w/real light.
see what you think about these other options. leaning more towards the beige/peach/linen color tones of the stone (plus you have that red/brown roof to contend with)
manchester tan (not pictured here) , quinoa, or natural linen or the San A. Sage
lastly,,Gravestone. if the gray has enough tan/brown base to it, (as opposed to a blue or green gray) it might work.
