Exterior Paint Colours


Our brick is quite orange...

We have white windows now...they were white in the 1920's...I think I like white the best.

We will add back shutters...They were originally white.  I like black the best...BUT...

We have a brown roof, brown eaves, and the top of the portico was painted brown.  Can I mix black and brown? (I can paint the top of the portico black, the rest stays brown)

Door will stay black. Because my head will explode before I can come up with a perfect complimentary shade.

I like the idea of grey shutters, to tie into the grey walkway...but grey is not looking so hot on the computer...(please click to enlarge...I wish I could supersize these all for you! And I don't know why they house looks so dark!)



What do you think!?

I need to walk around the neighbourhood with my camera and see what is working on other houses.  I stare down houses everyday, it is not making my decision any easier! 

ps. The house in 1973
