help pic my new house color

stuck on picking a house color and new roof shingle color. There has got to be a few painters here.

This is a old pic, but here are some things we know, the ugly bushes up front are gone except for the rhodi which has been trimmed, the shutters are coming off.

will not stay within the same shade, looks horrible
can not do any yellow, there is to many yellow houses around us, both next door neighbors are the house across the street diagonally are some shade of yellow.

want to keep it simple, and elegant, but not too much that it stands out, our house was built in 1920, and we are surrounded by houses from that year, or much earlier. It is a craftsman style bungalow.

colors we have tossed around
greens, in the olive shade
creams
tans
blues.

we are entertaining the thought of doing a 2 tone as well.

changes that will also be done are a new roof, color has yet to be picked, as well as new gutters.

photochop away, and HELP! please

 

Well with you being in auburn I am sure yellow with a reddish roof would look fine.

check out http://www.certainteed.com/
they have a pretty good interactive program to mix and match various sidings and roof to get a rough idea how certain colors will look.

We went with sandpiper (yellow) and a red roof.

we will land scaping using black mulch out front.

Take a drive around the neighborhoods and snap some pictures.

I know a good gutter guy. we are extremely pleased with our gutters

 

Just painted mine this last weekend...I have tree's around mine too. suggest a medium green with silver/gray shingles

 

whos your gutter guy?

 

LOL, here you go -- pick one.



On a more serious note, this doesn't look all that bad:

 

all star gutter.
my neighbor works for them, small company.
straight shooter, quality work, actually gave us some great options on drainage management and materials.

 

I like that.
nice roof color.
A nice cranberry door would be a nice accent.

 

Painted mine about 2 weeks ago. Used Benjamin Moore paint. House isberkshire beige, front door is country redwood, white trim and black shutters...

 

i vote anything but those purple shade things around the windows lol icky

 

but ya i like this one alot looks nice

 

How's this?

 

Can you get a green shade on your pics with a non-chalant white for trip. You can make the shades dark green....

 

realtor who sold us our house told us never buy a blue house, and never paint your siding blue, for whatever reason they are harder to sell.

 

vinyl siding

 

siding?
certainteed cedar impressions.
I could of bought a fully loaded dbor taco for what it cost to side the house. but damn the house looks nice

 

Rhino line it.

 

Actually there is a Rhino coating out there, looks very nice

 

I would rhino a shed, not the house, but might not have to worry about any future rot
