Painting Exterior Home...HELP

last year

Hi! We are working on painting the exterior of our home. We have a combo of stucco and siding and were told it would be best to choose two different colors for the body and a color for the trim. We have been leaning towards SW Gauntlet Gray for the siding but have no clue what color to pain the stucco. We like SW Dovetail, but were told by the painters it does not have enough contrast. I don't want the house to look too dark and foreboding...or busy. Any help is appreciated!

Our house is Guantlet Gray for the body and Dovetail for the finished 24 inch eves and I would tend to agree with your painters. I love both colors but the Dovetail is just a bit too dark to show a real contrast if that is what you are looking for. Of courser, being the eves they will appear darker but I would have gone a shade or two lighter. We are about to repaint the body of the house and we are sticking with the Guantlet Grey.

I just discussed this issue with my wife and she did not even know that the eves were a different color and we have lived here for six years. 😊

Wood tones work good with Gauntlet Gray.

Am I the only one not seeing a picture of the house in question?

I feel like the kid who missed the bus for the awesome field trip.
