I am trying to understand why blue at all. That door has to go BTW it in now way suits the house.

I do like the Bella Blue that Jinx just posted a picture of, and think it would look really good on your adorable house. I do notice you have a rusty red color on your house in some areas, I would try to keep that color. It adds a lot to your house.

Bella Blue looks good!

Your house has a Craftsman feel, and Arts & Crafts blues have a lot of green in them, which always looks good on the exterior of a house -- Sherwin Williams has a lovely craftsman color palette, you might consider working with that?

Blue would not be my first choice for this house.

Benjamin Moore Newburg green which is actually mostly a blue but green undertones. Super pretty. Younghouselove bloggers did a designed a house with that color. If you search google images you will find it.

I would take a look at the blues from each of those manufacturer's historic color palettes. I like BM's Newburg Green HC-158 (despite the name, it's really blue). I'd also consider boxing out those metal posts above the stacked stone pillars to give it more of a Craftsman look. Paint the posts white.

These comments are so helpful. THANK YOU!

@Patricia Colwell Consulting, why not blue?

@Jilly, I'm delighted you suggested Bella Blue. It looks beautiful in the picture you posted. And we have a cat named Bella, which would be a strange reason to paint our whole house Bella Blue, but still... ;)

@cat_ky, thanks for the input on the reddish trim. It's funny, my husband hates it but I have liked it. (We bought the house this way so did not select the colors.)

@Circus Peanut, thanks for these suggestions. I will check out Bunglehouse Blue on the visualizer.

@Greta Interiors, what would be your first choice? We don't want something completely neutral like tan or gray. Our street is very eclectic - lots of grays and tans but here and there there's a bright teal house, a dark red house, a yellow house, etc.

@Angela Tollefson, I'm excited to check out Newburg Green. I would've been misled by the "green" in the title (just like "Gentleman's Gray" is actually blue, it seems).

@Sabrina Alfin Interiors, I love the ideas about boxing out the posts. The paint altogether came off of the cedar as it is, so it's only a matter of time before that happens once we repaint.

Thank you, all! And if others have more ideas, too, I'm happy to hear them. I am OBSESSED with paint colors right now.
