HELP, please? My new house paint color...TERRIBLE

5 years ago

Today they painted my new little remodeled house. I was hoping the color on my garage would work ok on the house. It is HORRIBLE! Totally clashes with the new stone siding. What was I thinking????😱 do any of you have a magic wand????

    Will you post a pic of entire house please? Your pic didn’t load correctly but i can see it if I tap it. The body color looks ok with the stone but there’s not a contrast or pop if that’s what you want. I think it would be a more striking look if you change the trim from white to a darker color that emphasizes a darker tone in the stone. Need to see the whole house to know for sure.

    That’s a better pic but still not the whole house. Doesn’t show the white trim the first pic shows. My advice is same - the trim should be a darker color pulled from stone. Looks like house has lots of trim at front porch - posts etc. what about door? is it going to have a different color? Maybe head to the paint store for a visit with color consultant for some fast help. IMO, the body house color works & you just need a trim color.

    The problem is that a lot of medium or light grays have a green undertone. I found a few colors that I think will work with your stone. Ashen Tan seems to pick up on the predominate color of the stone. I like the contrast of the other three colors, Cement Gray, Amherst Gray, and Ancient Ivory.

    IMO the stone does not work style wise with the siding too much conflicting texture. The first pic shows vertical siding not shake so I am confused Of the color above IMO only the Amheart gray works but I agree we need to see the whole house

    the Amhearst gray is really nice. I like your shake siding.

    Trim will be white. Here is the existing garage next to the new house

    Maybe it looks worse in real life, but I don't see it as being that bad. The undertones of the paint look to be grayer than the yellower undertones of the stone, but it doesn't strike me as awful. If you really want to invest in a different color, I think a slightly darker, more tan color would compliment better.

    Are the windows white? Is that why you want to stick with white trim? I think a darker trim than the siding would look really good on your house.

    Trim paint has been white. The pergola is white. It has 4 vertical white columns on each side of deck between the 2 buildings
