Blue gray with white trim.. Or Cabbage green with white trim.. I kind of think the blue gray would tie into the gray in the rocks.. But the green might pop!
How super exciting!!

Navy would be gorgeous too!

Thanks Adrianne - ! I do love navy. Just struggeling with finding a true navy. Not too purple. not too grey. So many to choose from. Has anyone done a navy exterior that can share the paint color? The rocks are yet another choice. Shingle color too. So many decisions.....

have you considered under tones of black. Some seem to have a blue hue.
An alternate thought

Navy would make a nice contrast between the house and the rocks. The rocks have brown and gray I love those with Navy.. I'm also a huge fan of navy and black.
I saw this and it was closer to what I was thinking for Navy
It says its iron ore by sherwin williams but the color swatch look very gray so the photo must be enhanced. Or I'm just color blind

Thanks so much Anne Dee. For some reason my heart is set on a crisp navy blue although these are beautiful colors as well.

Will check out Iron Ore by Sherwin - thanks. I think black roof (instead of a grey which could wash out navy) would be the best contrast too. Sounds like you agree Adrianne.

I too like the brown and grey rocks with the navy now that you point it out -

OK Dianesanders7889 just thought I'd throw another choice of something that we may not always think of.
But of course. navy is an excellent colour choice.
Gorgeous place!!

Thanks Anne dee - I do like the new black valspar color you choose. Very cool.

dianesanders, thank you for the compliment on camille's discussion. Your house is harder to do. I am not advanced enough with phosotshop to color your house just like I did with Camille's door. I heard that BM and other paint companies have a software to allow to paint your house virtually. I will try to find time to look at that and see if it is easy to learn to use that tool. I will post something for you if I succeed but that will take few days.

Navy is one of my favorite colors; however if you use a very dark navy you'll lose the shadow effect detail of your cedarlike siding.

Navy from Benjamin more

Blues are coming at you fast and furious :) but here's another to consider

Adrienne Allred
Sooo descriptive
Very nice

Adrianne and Anne, thanks for your color ideas. Can I ask you one more favor? On the porch do you think a steel roof would look good? If so, what color? Would I do black steel?

Also, to complete the picture what would be your stone color choice?

@ dianesanders7889
I believe Adrianne Allred has the credentials to give you the best answer to your questions.

Adrianne.-

See 'Hale Navy' above i---s that the blue with grays you were referring to? When I match the Hale to a black roof it seems to be somewhat flat.

I do like 'Old Navy' I have not bought that one yet - but is it too purple? Thanks for your help.

Here are some reference points you may want to check out on the following




I posted the first 3 pics since they are manufactured with black metal roofs(not that they reflect the syle of home you have pictured for us to see)
the 4th posted was for paint colors.

Follow the links below the pics for more information.
I hope this can help some with your dilemma
Good luck
keep posting

I do love love love Salem Avenue Renovation - Copley Gray. And the roof / trim is beautiful. Thank you. Will discuss with hubby. I am now thinking the navy might be too hard to pull off. Just don't see where someone has done an exterior in true navy blue with black roof so I'm afraid to proceed.

Grab some paint and do a couple of test strips on an area that isn't visible to the street.
The Mystified color Anne Dee posted by valspar looks like a good one. I would check consumer reports before deciding on a brand.

Black seam roof would be fun if it is visible.. I prefer them over jog outs. Check prices and see if it's worth it.

Thank you Adrianne Allred for stepping in with your expertise !!

for yr reference only

you can browse if interested

Here are some alternatives i do like the yellow and the teal you could also go a nice red

Thanks for your help I took some pictures of Hale Navy and Old Navy. With Black Rook and metal roofing in white, silver and grey. Getting there! I will try the Valspar too. Mystified.

thanks for your help!

If I go with the black roof and navy siding with white trim and windows, what color metal roofing would make the porch pop? In above picture I included grey, white and silver (round circle). They all seem a little bla. We also have a walkway between the garage and house (road side) that I could finish with the same accent roof syle/color.

Thank you so much. Keep the great feedback coming. Love to hear from you.

If you are doing white trim.. White sophits and gutters would be nice

dianesanders7889, I just wanted to let you know that I tried to learn the software provided by benjamin moore to color your house. I did not succeed when I tried to use their software online. One of the problem I encountered was that the photo is not to the standard the software needs to process it. I tried with one of my photos and I encountered a different problem. Hopefully, at one point, I will meet a Houzzer that had used that software and I will be able to ask questions.
I am sorry. I wish I could have helped you. At least, I am happy to see that you are in good hands with Adrianne.

Thanks Suzanne. Appreciate your help. Adrainne and Anne keep the posts coming too.

Still trying to think of an accent (metal?) roof color for the porch. Any thoughts there -----to go with Old Navy Blue, white trim and black roof.
