Have you tested your samples on a foamcore board already?

I think the shutters are too small and need to go. What color is your roof? It looks like it could be burgundy or just gray?

The roof is a brownish Gray.

Yes we tested revere pewter. It’s too light. We decided On Indian River with Hale Navy door and shutters (if we keep them) now I’m not sure what to paint the deck

No the deck is in the back of the house

Photo?

You might test a sample of Benjamin Moore Stone Hearth. It's a taupe that should play nicely with your existing cream windows as well as any blue door you may choose.

I think that color will not look good with the roof.

I can see it in a red (carriage red) or a vibrant blue.

I think your house will look better without the shutters.

No shutters. Remember to paint the downspouts the same color as the house body. Your foundation shrubs aren't suitable for the space, they will need constant pruning to keep them from touching the house and intruding upon the sidewalk. Consult your local plant nursery for appropriate suggestions.

What are the downspouts ?

Downspouts run down the side from the gutters above. They should blend with the siding color. The Stone Hearth suggestion looks like a possibility...and could work well with Hale Navy.

Also should garage doors be Hale navy or color of the house?

And the side panels next to the front door should be the same color as the trim/windows (wedding veil white) or should that also be navy like the door

Haha yea me too too bad it’s not mine!

Kathryn, I would paint the garage doors the same color as the siding. For your front door, maybe Hale Navy for the door and white for the rest so you have something similar to this...

Sorry...you asked about the deck color. My choice would be the Wedding Veil White. The home in the photo I posted has a deck on the back painted white. I don't have a photo but it looks nice.

Thank you for all your advice! As you can prob tell I’ve never done this before and I’m sort of overwhelmed by all the options bc I have a hard time visualizing things

Some inspiration

What are those colors you used

Here is Skyline Steel SW that is close to Revere Pewter BM

You have to get some samples and to see how they look.
