What’s the solution? Well Maria could see that the roof was gray brown, not a green or red brown. We couldn’t introduce a red/pink brown to replace the green because then it would clash with the yellow stone. Any shade of yellow was not an option because then it would continue to clash with the pink beige stone. Maria gave her a taupe for the shakes that related much better to the roof and brick and freshened up the look of the house with creamy trim and shutters. See all the pictures here on how we came up with the final colour scheme.
We would love to see properly fitted shutters on those windows. What about a Board and Batten style? Please take advantage of our Shutter Snapshot application to see your home with shutters installed before the actual installation. All you have to do is upload this photo, choose your shutter style and color, and we render the photo for you and send it back! http://www.timberlane.com/resource-center/shutter-snapshot/
Sherwin Willams Natural Choice. It actually appears somewhat lighter than the photo. It is a very nice alternate to white. The shutters here are black but have been changed to a middle tone of warm grey. Although I had suggested the grey to begin with, I believe I prefer the black shutters as shown here. This is painted brick and the actual color is a creamy white, but the afternoon light imparted a warmer tone to the photo. The roof is slate of varied grey tones.

John Malick & Associates The shutters are painted a custom color approximating woad, a natural pigment traditionally used in France for shutters and other exposed wood. Woad is similar to indigo; here, we used a light tone. Thank you for your interest in the project. --John Malick & Associates
