need help with exterior trim color

5 years ago

We painted our house Tony Taupe by Sherwin Williams and are having trouble finding a trim color. We tried Shoji White but it is too glaringly white. Someone suggested Accessible Beige, but it is so close to the siding color that there is not much contrast. Am looking for a soft, easy on the eyes trim color. Any suggestions???

Try 3 parts Tony Taupe to 1 part white for the trim. If you want more contrast, you could try a 50/50 ratio. Using 3 parts white to one part Tony Taupe will look quite bright.

If you want a darker trim, add black instead of white to the Tony Taupe paint.
