Need color choice help

last modified: 12 years ago

These pics are not the finished product but I'm in need of some color choices for the house. I was going with lion's mane but once I put a sample on the house it didn't look good. Please help. I have southern breeze as my trim and poppy pods as my accent colors. I can change all of the colors. Nothing is on the house yet it is just being primed now.

Paint color names are not unique, so we need a brand to go with them.

Consider finding the lightest and darkest colors in the stone, and using them, or ones a bit darker/lighter) for the trim and body, with a 3rd accent color for the door.

I'm sorry I wasn't even thinking about that it's Pittsburgh paints.

Do you have a fan deck from Pittsburgh? I'd just spend some time with it and the stone, keeping in mind the roof colors.

I could be more help with a closeup of the stone.

Play off the gold in your stone with a russet tone - like mincemeat http://www.ppgpittsburghpaints.com/color/paint-colors/mincemeat-224-7

Next time, come here before you paint. You would have done better with a green undertone brown and contrast trim - pp russian olive would have been great on the fascia and around the windows .. .

That's just primer the house hasn't been painted yet... I'm still trying to decide. I'm really still open to choices. It's a new build.

Should have read your post better - what are your colors inside in your public rooms - the cream stone gives you lots of latitude.

Brown and tan with pops of orange and red in living.

OK - well let's stick with that door color, but on the trim at the fascia and around your windows would be terrific in a deep contrast. Your siding should be painted to match the stone. Test russian olive and see if you like it - or head more brown green.
