Need paint color suggestions for stucco!

6 months ago

We are wanting to repaint the stucco on our house. Would like to go with a warm darker greige but also considered a warmer shade of white. Any suggestions? Also, shutters or no shutters?

    You could leave shutters on the garage but that would look strange, so no shutters.

    Our first home was a beautiful Colonial house...exterior all stucco. Built in 1913 it had never been painted and we left it as is. I love your color and I would leave it as is, too. Why spend money on something which is what it is?

    Try B.M.Somerville Red on the front door.

    Unfortunately the paint you see is very faded and we are looking to freshen it all up. Yes, love red doors! Our door uses to be red, may need to go back to that again, so classic! I imagine your all stucco 1913 home was stunning!!

    Is only the circled portion in the photo below where you have stucco on your house? It appears that the right side of the house is brick - I assume that the left side is also. What does that back view of your house look like?





    Also, will you add a close up photo of your brick - with sun on it - so we can see the colors that are in it. Due to screens/monitors not always accurately representing colors, pls let us know if you believe that your photo doesn't represent the brick accurately.


    It would be good if you had some paint colors in mind that you believe match well with your brick - that way we would be more sure of what colors are in your brick.


    Lastly, are you going to paint all of your trim? Is your plan to stick with a white (as currently painted) OR are you looking for suggestions for that as well?


    If you know what the names are of the current paint colors used on your stucco and trim - please add them to your comment.

    There are two eaves on the end where the garage is that are stucco you cannot see. I picked my color yesterday, SW Garret Grey. I'm not sure with what to do with the stucco trim you see on the stucco. Currently it's cream, do we do the Garret Grey or another cream or even a white? All of our other trim is white. Here is a better representation of the brick but what you see is pretty accurate.

    The current color goes well with the brick. I might go for a slightly warmer cream, but always paying attention to the color of the brick.

    most of your house is brick, so painting one section kind of a sore thumb color like gray would be odd IMO, I would need a more close look at the brick color, but I would stay in the same color tone you have now

    Garrett Grey is not grey at all. It's a very warm greige that lends into the brown. I think it's quite lovely together.

    Garret gray is not gray at all.

    Here is some visual with it
