Help us choose our exterior paint color?

last modified: 8 years ago

Hi All,

Please see the attached photo of our house. We have bronze windows and trim, and a little lighter metal roof called weathered copper. We have a red brick fireplace in the front. We are thinking a cream or greige color for the house. We like SW Wool Skein ( I have attached photos of examples I found online) but are a bit worried that the brick fireplace will bring out the green undertones. Any ideas? We could paint the brick but aren't sure if we have to. The final coat will be stucco that we can match to a paint color.

Thanks!

We restuccoed and matched BM Ballet White. I am very pleased. A little darker than I would have liked, but it was white stucco before so I guess I was just a little shocked at the change. Many compliments. Love that 3rd pick. Do that.

Have you considered a slate blue for the body of the house? Might funk it up even more.

I really like wool skein; don't see any green undertones. I think it will work well with your metal roof and windows and, as you see in the last example you posted it works well with red brick. Neat house!

here's wool skein w/a few accent colors..lower left

it would be similar to this look. notice the red brick and bronze windows. this is what you're looking for on your stucco shade.

sorry jeff,,I don't believe that's cathedral on that house. it's very close tho...there is not info on the color of the house w/that picture. grab a sample and try it out.

that's not an actual paint color,,its the color of siding. sorry! I posted it for how good it looked w/the coloring you have.
