Thank you! That is a gorgeous color. I also like Saybrook Sage by Benjamin Moore. This home is so beautiful inside, it just needs some love. It has gorgeous woodwork and original lighting. The original owner passed this home down to family for many years. Then in the 1980’s was sold to the second owner that was not family. We are now the third owners that were not family. I cannot wait to pass it down to our children someday.

This is a darker green than you were probably thinking of, but it's appropriate to the time period it was built. That being said, I don't see anything wrong with using a lighter green if that's what you like. I had Nantucket Gray on the exterior of my previous house, so I am also a fan.

Great house! Nantucket Gray looks like a good contender.

These are both Saybrook Sage. I’d be tempted to go with a soft white for trim and windows.

Sounds like a nice color scheme. Brown or rust would not be my choice, how about navy blue?

I would have the door refinished with a nice rich stain. trim up the shrubs... congratulations!

Love a rich green or dark blue for this beauty! What a house!! I think I would do all of the exteriors before touching the doors. I love a beautiful wood door.

Here are some colors from around 1900

Look at those prices!

Good luck and please post photos as you do your updates!

Thank you all so much! one more quick question, we are going to change the deck boards on the porch. which color should they be?

I love vintage homes that are painted Jadeite like the depression era bowls.

Too many colors, so little time ! I love all of the colors !

Beautiful home!! I would wait on deciding porch board color until after house/trim is decided. Perhaps a stained porch will be nice, depending on what is done with the door.

I'd do a medium brown/dark tan for the windows. A house near me has that color scheme. This is a shade of green I like with cream trim

I think I would stain the porch. Maybe close to the door stain.

I often drive past an adorable Victorian cottage that is painted Granny Smith apple green, with cream and plum trim, and I always think what a great color scheme it is. Wish I had a photo to share, because it would look so good on your house! The plum color is more gray-blue purple, and it looks so good with the green.
