    Wish the windows were black and all the siding vertical. Can't be changed now, but the paint color could...

    At this point, looking to coordinate the body color, top color, trim and soffit color

    Hi, top right part could go with same paint colour as siding..it does not need highlighting .


    Don't have to worry.

    it is all neutral colour & is gonna look great after completion.


    As an option for glass ,you can go with some interesting balcony handrails adding to character of stone cladding.

    Wondering if you could color block the vertical sections. Similar idea to Judy’s photo. You could use a dark like your garage door, medium grey and white if the windows are remaining white. What other elements are you adding? Is there stone going around the entry?
    I’ve always liked this color blocked home with the bright door, and it has white windows.

    How are you able to do that? Would love to play with color options/blocking. Please let me know.

    Looks like this is a good place for gray

    Photoshop or more crudely in MS Paint are good for getting a broad idea of paint colors.

    I like the gray you are sampling. I would do it on the larger clapboards, then a lighter gray on the smaller ones and white on the stucco or flat boards. Paint out the white trim around the garage door to match.

    Nice looking house. Good luck!

    As close as you can come to the look of the JudyG photo would be ideal. Modern and dramatic, yet stately. P.S. Changing the color for the different *sections* the way you started, was the right move. [ :-) For your next project, JudyG is also correct that it would have been better to use dark windows.]

    I think those are some really good choices and yes black windows would have been a good idea but IMO the right paint choices now will work. I certainly would not do anything except glass railings in fact the ones with no top rail might be nice.

    What are the color names of the blue-gray photos from celerygirl on April 5?

  • 6 years ago

    I like the teal blue one,, add bigger white trim around the white windows and garage,, it will definitely make it pop,,, to me, that look, it will take on a MODERN coastal feel,, something different and refreshing

    I forgot to add,, the GREY with the lighter teal, white windows, white soffits, bigger white trim around windows, garage etc,,, for a refreshing modern coastal feel,, is my preference

    It looks like you've already installed your exterior siding and colors are already set. No point adding $1,000's to re-do it. If nothing else, paint your exterior doors a color that can pop with the colors you've already chosen.


    Navy blue isn't an extreme color choice but will add something more than a grey or beige or brown. For more fun try turquoise, intense pink, purple, I think though you need to keep tone in mind - you already have light and medium tones, so a dark tone would complement rather than blend in. Stay away from greens and reds, unless it's a funky version of the color, like lime green... But still, that's mostly a mid-tone color. Kinda think you need a dark tone....

    I like what celerygirl is doing with the colours but I don’t understand the top right side being a different colour. It is disruptive and not calming in my opinion. There are a lot of two-toned homes where we live and we were the first to make everything one colour with Indian (grey greens, rusts, and orangey colours) slate around the front entrance. Soon others followed suit. Two colours made everything choppy as in this case it is removing the interest away from the dark stone. My opinion of course :).

    Dear Celery Girl, I love the teal color you recommended for this neat house. Can you tell me the brand and color of the paint. Thanks so much! Dee

    I just want to give props to celery girl!!
    Very clever and very kind to take the time to think this through for a stranger. You are making the world more beautiful...one painted house at a time!
