Hard to tell exact colors on my screen but whichever one goes with the gray of the roof. That's what you see from the front.

The one on the right as long as it works with the roof color. To me a lighter color will give the house more ”life.”

green undertones is not a bad thing.

remember that it will also fade some with that bright wash of sunlight.

I would go with lighter color.

They are both great - forced to choose, I like the darker one. But you so go wrong with either color.🙂

Thanks for the responses.

I wish i had taken a picture yesterday with the sun.

I dont ever dislike the dark color, but there are times i wish it were lighter.

The light color gets washed out in the direct sun and i dislike it. But then when its overcast or shady, i prefer it to the darker. And since decision day is overcast, im second guessing myself.

Don’t freak out - that happens when you are rushing your decision. I like River Birch, but they would both be fine.

My stress is 100% self inflicted. ive been looking at paint samples since 2019.. i thought i wanted SW Anonymous . Then i got a sample and didnt like it and have been lost ever since. I have a hard time picturing a light color on the whole house so the darker color feels safer. i appreciate the feedback.

And i will come back for landscaping once imrolace the walkway. Its so shaded from my maples, even my hostas dont thrive. They havent grown noticebly in the 10 years ive been here, they stay compact.

SashaDog. I also suffer, at times, from decision paralysis! I had decision paralysis choosing the color of my quartz countetertops in our bathrooms and kitchen, color of our bathroom vanities, and color of our new front entry door (to name a few). I am the opposite of an “impulse buyer”. I must thoroughly research everyhing I purchase; it is a blessing and a curse! I did eventually make choices with the help of my wonderful kitchen designer, and my sweetheart of a husband. Dont be so hard on yourself.

I like the darker color. Not fond of the lighter color at all.

Same color on front and back of house in the evening.. I think its ok, I dont love it but it could be worse.

It’s great - you need landscaping, get rid of the awful tree, and a pretty front door color!!!

Your samples are much too small. Need to paint larger size samples on panels (at least 4x4, if not bigger) that you can move around to view in different locations, at different times of day.

Geez I hope you are using an opaque stain and NOT paint on the wood. Since the house is so hidden under the trees, perhaps the lighter shade is better.

I think the green undertone makes the whole home more interesting and less expected. What has to be addressed is the white trim. That is not good with either of the colors.

I love the look of the trim a couple shades darker than the house. Unfortunately, my windows are white vinyl clad so white trim is what it is. I thought it'd look weird to have white windows and different eaves trim.

I agree the giant maple is less than ideal from a landscape standpoint. But it provides so much shade that i don't need a/c in the house. I have hydronic heat and only a 100amp power feed to the house, so installing central a/c is a major ordeal. I'm going to keep that ugly maple alive as long as i can!
