Exteriors Paint

What colour to paint exterior of house?

4 years ago

Hi folks - I’m trying to help my sister decide what colour to paint the exterior of her house. She’s quite keen on pale greens and blues but is undecided, and we would love to hear what you think!

What does the rest of the street look like? Not suggesting painting a similar colour, but perhaps something complimentary.

Thanks Patrina- I agree it’s important. The rest of the street is a mix of red brick, some white/cream paint, but not a lot else.

Taupe and oak don't look good together at all as they're too close to each other so they clash. The colors that do look wonderful with oak and similar wood colors are olive and gray greens along with gray blues. We've been putting in a lot of wood trim so I've had to analyze this for the last several months. Here are some colors I think work well with wood: http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/mistedfern http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/rosemarysprig http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/littlefalls At the bottom left hand side of the page are coordinating colors you could use for trim.

Hi, thanks, I know a full pic would be more useful but. as I said in my post, it's not my house so I'm not able to post a full photo I'm afraid. Basically I am just looking for suggestions for colours that might work with red brick?

Taupe would look lovely with the black trim, also. You can go as light or dark as you like, but I like a medium tone. Paint a sample on the wall before purchasing the large amount needed to paint the entire house.

Hi there...looking for advice on paint colours. Im thinking the main colour would look good in a chalky white...what do you think would work best for the trim..window surround etc...any advice appreciated. Excuse the mess of the exterior. For some reason it wontvallow me to attach a picture. Our windows are anthracite grey and its a narrow terrace house. Thanks

This is a street in the town where I live and each house is painted differently. I think the pastel shades are particularly lovely. Just to give you some ideas.
