Picking Exterior Paint Colors

The framers are finishing the siding and porch ceilings, which is great – but it means that it’s time to choose our home’s exterior colors.

We have already chosen the colors for the barn. That was easy because there are far fewer choices for the metal building and we are NOT painting that bad boy.

Metal samples for the barn -the body will be the creamy beige and the sage green will be the accent color

We would like the house to go with the barn, but not necessarily match. We are also cognizant of our home on the hill sticking out when it is seen from the valley. I want it to be in harmony with the natural, wooded setting and with the cedar posts and other stained wood accents. So with that in mind, we are considering painting the house a shade of green with creamy beige trim – basically the opposite of the barn combination. We selected 4 color samples last week, but decided that they were all too light…

Round two colors were labeled A, B, C, D.

I immediately determined that color A from round two is too dark. So that leaves us with B, C, and D.

The standing seam metal roof will go on after the house is painted

What is your vote? They will start painting in the next week, so I’d love to hear your opinion! As always, thanks for stopping by!
Hugs, Libby
