Need help choosing exterior house paint.

2 years ago

I need help to decide on our house color. The pictures below show what it is currently: a dark charcoal. We chose it based on suggestions from this site. People recommended it to match our dark gray and brown pavers.

Well, we will be renovating our house by doing an addition and other structural changes that will affect the outside of our house. The pavers will be kept.

Should we keep the same paint color or try something different? What colors other than gray go with our pavers? Any specific brands and paint names?

Thanks!

You don't need to match your pavers any more than you need to match the color of your lawn. Paint it whatever color you like.

I went and looked up your previous post on color. I agree with above that you dont need to match your pavers, however, you dont want your paint to clash with them either. I think the paint you had on the house on your original post, or something very close to it, is a better color than the dark charcoal you have now.
