Please help pick paint colors and gutters

12 months ago

We replaced our roof with a black roof and now I can't decide on paint colors. Garage Doors with be matte black Clopay Bridgeport narrow. Front door isnt seen but will be black. It is currently sw nomadic desert with kilm beige and latte trim. The small picture is sw shitake and sw egret white.
We are unsure if we want black fascia since there will be plenty of black with the garage doors. For gutters we love the copper tone color or maybe black? Gutters will only be on the sides, no gutters on the front of the house. We like having 3 colors but can't figure out 3 colors that go together. Trying to stay with beige, creams or griege but open to ideas, ruled out blue and can't be the same as the neighbors, last 2 pictures. I like light trim not a dark color trim on a light color house. Please help, I can't seem come up with anything.

I would wait on the garage doors. Pick your house color first. The garage doors, might look best painted the color of the house, so you are not calling attention to the garage doors. A front door needs to be noticable, and pop, so visitors can see it, and find it easily. Garage doors should not call attention to themselves.

Your roof is open eave / exposed butt ends. Which makes the roof look *thin*.

The other option with a tile roof is closed eave / trim finish, which is where they take tiles and layer them around the edge so it literally trims the roof.

Open eave isn't necessarily harder but you have to decide how you want it to look. Trim/fascia/gutters in the same (or close) color to the roof dilutes the scallop that you get with open eave and the roof looks fatter at the edges vs. thin like it is now.

Downspouts should be painted to match the body of the house. Downs don't have to match gutters.
