Exterior Paint help

5 years ago

I have 3 days to choose paint colors for the exterior of our mountain cottage. If anyone has any pretty color schemes with paint names I would love it. I love so many colors I just cannot seem to narrow it down. Also, I have trouble finding the paint names when I do find something I like. My only direction is no light colors such as white, yellow on the body of the house as it will cost us more.

I love the color it is right now. It fits in with your woodsy setting perfectly. It looks as though your house is stained though, rather than painted. You may want to just restain it, if it needs to be redone.

I don't mind the color it is but we cannot find the color. It is very faded up close and was painted years ago and has no paint cans laying around.

Its very hard to tell from pictures, but, here is a solid color stain, that appears to be close to what you have. This one is from home depot Behr, but, I have seen similar colors in other brands too. You just need to color match it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-PREMIUM-1-gal-SC-330-Redwood-Solid-Color-Waterproofing-Exterior-Wood-Stain-and-Sealer-5033001/300845738

Thank you for the link Cat_ky. I will have to see if the house was stained or painted.
