Please help with Exterior Paint Color Ideas

2 years ago

I have an old double wide mobile home that I am renovating and will be replacing and removing some windows with new. I seriously need some suggestions with paint color scheme. Part of my dilemma is that I already have 10 gallons of paint, 5 gallons of Glidden "Cuppa Coffee" and 5 gallons of Glidden "Gotta Have It". Both of these paints are very similar to each other. I did a mock up showing the before and two options using only these two paint colors. Then I did a third where I add a third color Glidden "Coffee Grounds" as a darker brown and a mock up showing that color added, with some faux stacked stone siding to accent the entrance. The next problem, is that the roof is grayish black and these colors are warm earthy and they look horrible with the roof. I did see that Behr makes a roof paint, of a "Bark Brown", so was contemplating painting the asphalt shingles. Then the problem is that my wife doesn't like any of these and when asking what does she like, it becomes a confusing communication breakdown. So I thought I would reach out for some ideas. Please help!


Option 1 - Keep it simple, 2 color, "Cuppa Coffee, Gotta Have It"
Option 2 - Use same colors, but paint entrance and body alternate.
Option 3 - Add the 3rd color "Coffee Grounds" and keep the busy design scheme.
Option 4 - Toss all of these paint colors out and buy some new paint colors that work better with a gray/black roof.
Option 5 - Bulldoze the dump and have a professional build a new house and let them pick the colors.
Option 6 - Sell it while you can and end the remodel nightmare!
