Exterior paint color scheme??
HI BP!
We have been debating over an exterior color scheme for this Dutch Colonial style house. We have not completed the front porch, but this picture should help give a good idea.
So far, I'm thinking a darker color, to make for "covering" the existing paint easier. We are back forth on white trim vs. off-white or cream. The neighborhood really has a mix of colors... from kinda crazy bright colors (purple, bright green and even orange), to the more usual neutral tones (gray, tan, green/gray). The style of the house shows a lot of roofing...therefore coordinating off the shingle color is our thought. Or is that too much grey!? Also- I have seen that it is common to have a different color on the upper dormer side (side of the house portion near windows) of dutch colonials. Any thoughts?
And... what to do with the two front facing windows on second floor... adding a contrasting color to pop?
I would love your advice.... a big thank you!
