best white exterior trim for brown brick

2 years ago

Hi all—need ideas for a wherein Williams white trim color for my dingy gutters/fascia. Don’t have a can to color-match. Need SW bc it’s the closest store. Will change yucky garage and door color later ;). Having gutter work done so need an updated fresher white/off-white for gutters and fascia. Alabaster? Origami white? Thank you!!

Our house has a similiar color scheme - and a designer recommended SW Shoji White - it reads "white" but is pretty creamy and not stark, no weird undertones - good luck, exterior paint color selection is stressy!

Shoji White is a good suggestion. Get a sample can to test but it could be a great choice.

Thank you!! Shoji white looks a little beige-y on the sample card, which is why I was thinking origami white, but I def should paint a bigger sample swatch. Outside it will look lighter, but I def don’t want it yellow-ish creamy.
