need help choosing paint colors

last year

Our cedar 90’s cedar home desperately needs updated, roof is 3 years old so that can’t change but paint colors and front windows and door I think will help. Previous owned only stained front of house 7 years ago the remaining has trace cedar color stain. We live in a rustic cabin area so I’d like to keep it cabin/lodge styled. Any ideas? I’d like to start staining this week.

Painting trim and staining siding is that what you mean? Start with the three weeks or so of prep of the entire exterior or you back here in very short order. Do you want to use solid stain or semi solid for the body of the house?

Yes painting the trim and restraining. Local paint shop said to use exterior clean on the cedar prior to staining. I haven’t gotten started on prepping the aluminum trim

LIght brown for the body, a light sage green for the trim. Garage doors to match the stone after it is cleaned. Front door a medium sage green.

That is going to need considerably more then just "Exterior bleach"......................
