Thanks for doing that, Janae.... The house has an aluminum soffit and fascia installed so I never did get a Ben Moore equivalent for that color. Glad to hear that yours turned out well!May 17, 2013

Just an FYI, and I asked my local BM paint store to do Elephant Tusk with their Exterior Stain and they received an error from the paint system when they attempted a sample for me. They do NOT recommend Elephant Tusk in exterior colors as it will yellow and turn green over time and loose its color. They can override this if you would like.September 23, 2014

What is underneath the cement board shake siding? Is that easy to apply over a brick home? Or would you just paint the brick instead?

For anyone considering these colors, the color on the Fascia, Benjamin Moore Chocolate Brown CSP-270 is not available for exterior use. Their rep has suggested Middlebury Brown HC-68 or Sierra Spruce 2108-20 as alternatives. I’m currently painting my home the same color and will say that Copley Gray is a bit darker than what appears in this photo. Thanks for posting, the renovation on the home is beautiful!

Ron, what an awesome house and what an excellent idea about the donation. I build in Georgia and with your permission I think I'll make the same request when able. It looks as though the fascia is a darker green/gray color that the house and of course not the off white OC-8 tusk color. Can you please tell us that color too? Thanks in advance.

Tough to say. The roof color of "barkwood" works really well with the chocolate brown, aluminum soffit and fascia. I think that it would dramatically change the look to go with a light gray roofing. Would not be my first choice of a roofing color. (just my opinion for what that is worth). Best wishes with your project!August 9, 2013

1. Will this fit in my new place? When I am working with clients who are getting ready to move, I ask them to show me around their entire home. While we walk, I take detailed notes about the things right off the bat that aren’t going to be moved into the new home. I recommend grabbing a pen and paper and doing the same. Start with the master bedroom, then the kids’ rooms or extra bedrooms, and then the kitchen, family room, office, basement and so on. It is easier to start with furniture — as the new home tends to dictate which large pieces will come and which will be sold or donated.
Steven Corley Randel, Architect added this to Roots of Style: Where Did Your House Get Its Look?May 8, 2013
2. Shingle. With some reference to classical detailing, the shingle style began to appear under the Victorian umbrella of design in the late 19th century. It ironically stems from medieval architecture — that is, the period of building between the end of ancient classical and the beginning of Renaissance classical. Original shingle was a style before its time; shingle designs emphasized a more open floor plan, a feature so popular today. On this house there are also elements of stick style (note the gable over the entrance porch) and Tudor (note the steep roof formations and varying window shapes). Shingle style is currently very popular in the southeastern United States but can be found in all areas of the country.
Charmean Neithart Interiors added this to 8 Homes With Exterior Paint Colors Done RightApr 13, 2013
Here is a basic cottage-style home with a combination of shingles and vertical siding. The main field color is Copley Gray HC-104 by Benjamin Moore. The trim is Elephant Tusk OC-8, also by Benjamin Moore. Note the garage door is also painted the main field color.
Becky Harris added this to Houzz Call: Show Us Your Paint MakeoversMar 13, 2013
One of the most dramatic before and afters often happens on the exterior of a home. I'm stuck trying to commit to a palette at the moment myself. When you get the exterior palette right, it makes your house completely shiny and new to you.
