Help select our gray exterior color!

last modified: 5 years ago

We have bought a 1901 farmhouse in Maryland, close to the DC border. We need to paint the exterior. We want to remain in the grays, but go deeper than the current color and not as blue. The houses on either side of us are both yellows. The paint must be Benjamin Moore. We will likely remove the shutters because we think they are overwhelming. The trim will be a white. We'll choose the exact color after we settle on the siding. Right now we are leaning toward Kendall Gray and Chelsea Gray. We'd love your recommendations!

Thank you Marylee. I love Barnwood as well but it does not come in an exterior paint!

Chelsea Gray and Kendall Charcoal are lovely too. Have a look at their colorographies at The Land Of Color .com which makes it easy to compare their attributes.

@tayfish I just completed the complete exterior renovation of our 1910 Foursquare in VA. We painted it Kendall Charcoal ! You can't believe how many folks stop every day to tell us how beautiful it looks. And it does. It is the only gray that has NO undertones of blue or green or brown. It is a pure charcoal. It has SO much depth. Here is a link to the thread with before and after pictures. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6007772/trailrunner#n=36. Let me know if you want more info.@

Thank you Trail. This is so helpful! I simply love the color on your house! I confess I crawled though all your posts and learned you have suffered the great loss of a child. I add my deepest condolences. Its a terribly difficult journey you are on.
