Hi Diann,
It sounds like there is a lot going on color and trim-wise. Spanish / Mediterranean homes should be simple in massing and color. If under the eaves is wood, then the wood should be a natural brown color. If under the eaves is foam/stucco trim, then the trim should be a variation of the main color of the house, say your tan or an off white...there should not be a big contrast. Any foam / stucco trim should be close in color to the main color of the house, and if the trim is wood, then it should be a natural brown color. Shutters, windows and doors can add color and pop to the house. Black iron lamps sound just fine. I have several Spanish/Med. homes shown on Houzz you can see for examples....and if you want to send me some photos of your home, I would be happy to take a look and offer any specific advice. My email address is stevenb@sennikoffarchitects.com

Have a great night,
Steve Sennikoff

Good morning Steve thanks for replying to my message. Our new home is concrete poured walls , under the eaves is concrete as well they are painted same as house color Special mix call Lancaster while. The foam molding is partly done and is special mix as well called Musket Brown which looks like devils food cake color have mixed feelings about it as we have looked at concrete walls for so long that once these few colors have been added to it we are having a time getting used to it with plastic on the windows as well and the trim not being painted . Favorite tan has been tried on the trim and it seems ok with the creamy white walls. We think its the intensity of the musket brown that is throwing it off . Painter left it part done so I think we could get used to the chain . He thinks it should be lighter . Right now you will see in the pic where my husband tried to paint the only wood and that is where the fascia will go which would be brown and the gutters will be brown and garage doors.. When looking around the neighborhood most of the houses to us seem so blau. With no fascia yet its hard to bring out the browns in the roof till fascia is placed on it. Were looking at bare wood right now . So since fascia is not on yet Hubby when and painted bare wood musket brown since it would get covered eventually by musket brown. In our minds it should be a less reddish brown . We only have 3 corbels on one wall under the eaves of side of care garage they were to be musket as well. I will be so happy to send you a pic and get some feed back. Maybe you will be able to see past the plastic on the windows better than us. In the pic you will see molding color needs to be added around some of the windows and bottom half of house as well . Left side of house has foam trim between the upper windows and lower windows. . Foam molding has also been added to RV garage as well and golf cart garage but it has not been painted yet with the musket brown. The last pic I uplo

can you tell me the exterior color and window color in the house in this photo? Thank you!

Hi Beth
We finally moved in our new home and have received so many compliments on the house body paint color as well as the trim. The color was made by Sherwin Williams and is called Lancaster white a special mix. The trim color on the house is called Favorite tan and the gutters is Musket Brown. We love it ! If you want the numbers off my can let me know as it is a custom color . I will be happy to give them to you.

Hey Steve here is pic of our new home. Finally moved in a month ago. Love it

Thank you! Yes I would love to know the numbers of the Lancaster White so we can give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Diann,
How exciting...your house looks great!
Congrats!!
Steve

ok Beth, will look at the can and give you the custom formula . Have golf in the am and will be home in the afternoon will have the color for you on here.

Hey Steve all the colors came out beautiful . This is not a great pic as you can tell in Sunny Fl was not so sunny this day..Lol but will add a new one so you can see really how nice it truly is. Funny I just about lost it one day when a house next door was beginning to go up and the new neighbor to be said she was going to paint her house same color. I was thought she has to be joking. So in a nice way tried to talk her out of it . I went to the builder and his designer and they both told me they loved it so much they wanted same color. If that was the case we may as well add a breezeway and make it into a duplex lol. So after several months they since have got her to change her mind to another color Whew close call.
Thanks for the help way back when!
Diann
