House painter, check! House color, missing!

4 years ago

Greetings! Our house is being painted in a couple of days, and we had a Greige picked out though we’ve come to realize all of our neighbors have a medium or light Greige or warm gray. Thinking possibly of a cooler/bluish gray, or willing to consider whatever color honestly! The roof line will be paint a light black... SW Iron Ore or Black Fox, and the window trim will be a creamy white. The brick, well we’ve finally decided to paint it the same as the body. So close, painters almost here. Thank you for any color suggestions you can offer!

    Not another greige! lol

    Tell me you're getting a new front door? Or perhaps have that arch window removed and do square panes?

    too bad you didn't do black windows

    although you could trim some black trim work around them.


    you could do any of these combos


    Are you up for doing some cedar siding over the garage area? you can do composite cedar. The do the charcoal/black and white on the other part. love everything about this redo


    if you want dark siding, here you go! I don't care for the white garage door though


    if you want warmer tones, use these




    This is a really nice color palette. the column on the right, or on the left. then just add white


    this one is nice. any of those grays above would work w/a soft white. but see this door? this is the style you need. the arbor over the garage is a nice touch.


    these lean more to the green/gray





    notice the darker garage, the style of the front door, and the portico over it. Plus the landscaping



    Just showing you this color combo. Try Wrought Iron (BM) on top, Swiss coffee, and a soft light gray for the garage door. Bring in a warm wood front door.

    How about a pretty, soft green, and leave the brick unpainted? Though this house isn't much like yours, I'm thinking a paler green, and maybe don't do the black trim. You already have white windows, so I'm thinking just keep the trim white.

    Or maybe a little more sage than this one. But you get the idea.

    How funny, to cross posts with Beth, my fav. I like Beth's example photo with the green house best.

    New front door for sure! I love all of these examples. It took as a long time to commit to paint the brick, and its been a long road but we are here. Beth, so many great suggestions. I’m going to go back and study them!

    We are also wanting to put an arbor above the brick.

    IMO keep the brick and work with it instead of creating a whole blah exterior. This tyle color would work to enhance the brick and I like that all the trim is the same as the siding in this pic since none of your windows are really something to highlight.

    I just repainted my stucco. I went with SW Loggia body and SW Foothills for trim. Loggia is a neutral beige with slight grey undertones.

    Has anyone asked about your roof color? You can not ignore it and choosing something or recommending something without being aware of it is a mistake.

    Roof color is a dark gray with blue tones, thanks for asking!

    Then I'd focus on the LAST image Beth posted and maybe someone could photoshop that concept. A wood look garage door would make sense for you if you kept the brick as is.

    I think you should keep the brick. I think the eaves should be painted white. A new door in a wood finish would look nice.

    Houssaon do you like that for the siding by the garage? Garage door color?
