Can you help us with your roof color? On my screen it looks gray. The current white looks very crisp and appropriate for a gray roof. I am not sure that creamy shades will look as nice.

And it is a beautiful house!

It is a slate gray. Not as light as it appears in the main photo.

Gorgeous home! I would stay with neutrals as they will stand the test of time. I would stay away from anything too gray or silver/cool as this will be too cool overall with the roof. Creamy light taupe tones will give the richness and warmth the house needs. Trick is not too yellow and not too gray. Something like Sherwin Williams Panda White is the color i’m describing. Good luck and please post pics once you’ve finished!

kozshaq is on the spot, do the above and you will have amazing colors for the house and be sure to notice the tones, they blend so easy.

Oh these photos are exquisite! I think this will be beautiful if you can replicate on your home. James Hardie /Magnolia home has a similar color siding, Birch tree, i’m sure you could find a paint color match.

Beautiful home. Ask your painter how many days of prep and priming. Let houzzer's help narrow down a good warm white in the next day or two. Have your painter paint large samples of your top three paints in a few different areas of the house and look at it at different times of day.

I presume doors and shutters can be painted last. If using FB for doors and shutters, get a FB fan deck over nighted. Narrow down the choices and get some Sampilze sheets overnighted. You might spend $100-$125 in shipping and sample fees but worth it to get the right color.

I don't like color matching SW or BM paints to FB colors. I've done it with disappointing results. I think it is better to find a SW/BM color similar enough to FB instead. This has worked much better for me. Here's a good matching chart: https://www.colorsbykellyhaller.com/farrow-ball-colors-matched-to-benjamin-moore

I like Wimborne White (FB), similar to Mountain Peak White (BM) - classic white with a tiny bit of cream. Review of Mountain Peak Whitehere.

I can see pigeon looking too washed out, unless you have a very creamy white against it. Your inspiration pics are subtle and beautiful, but in north light, with lots of greenery around, a grey roof, and viewed from afar, you might want to punch the green shutters up one or two notches so it doesn't appear faded out. I'd go for a green black with the door so the contrast with the shutters is more obvious.

Thank you for those suggestions, Kendrah and Kozshaq. Kendrah... which green is that for the shutters?

The inspiration photos are gorgeous choices for your house.

I would test any color ON YOUR HOUSE as soon as possible so you can see the 4 sides in real life. I remember having paint samples on my previous house and debating with myself obsessively because it looked different on every side. Exposure does matter.

Sorry for chopping off the label. The shutter color is smoke green.

I took a google trip through lots of southern style homes. All were white, pure white and looked gorgeous. White body and trim, but this time do black shutters.

What color did you end up going with? I am facing the same dilemma now. My house is also north facing. Would love to know what you chose and how you like the results!
