Need Help with Exterior Color

13 years ago

I am afraid of color so in hopes of changing my black and white house, I ended up purchasing paint that appears to be off white/with tint of beige. Can anyone help with suggestions for the shutters, the house needs color. I need a color that will match well with the top half of the house.

Not sure how to attach a bigger pic. I will try again. The color I chose to paint is called lambskin from Benjamin Moore. It essentially looks white, I was hoping for a more interesting color for the shutters. Or any other suggestions for curb appeal.
