Looking for house color suggestions WITH PIC

We've been feeling like our house color is somehow blah, we definitely want to paint the trim white instead of the creamy/yellow/blah color it is. any suggestions for the shutters and main color?

hahaha you guys are funny.

maybe we'll keep the green shutters, brighten up the ugly yellow with a brighter yellow and then do the trim bright white.

You're the funny one! Chat Icon Your home is beautiful the way it is, I wouldn't change a thing. But if you must... maybe change the shutters to black or dark brown and paint the trim brighter white.

Hey, I think I've passed your house before Chat Icon

Honestly, love it the way it is. But I do know what you mean by having a change. What about a beigy color with deep red color shutters?

I LOVE your house.

I am a big fan of yellow with blue shutters...

what about a nice grey color too...

actually, I have my living room painted yellow and the windows are painted a dark grey. it looks FABULOUS together.

here are some pics of the color combinations. don't be shy! you have a lovely home!

here is a pic of the yellow with a nice red too. Yellow is a great color with so many possible accents!

Re: Looking for house color suggestions WITH PIC

There are housees similar to yours in my area. I dont have pics but here's a few color combos I've seen:

Brighter yellow with bright white trip and black shutters

Grayish blue with dark blue shutters, red doors


pinkish/peach with mauve shutters and mauve door

beigh siding with similar beigh trim, no shutters, and deep pink door (this ones my fav, sounds weird without seeing it, but its almost like a green beige, very bridgehampton!)

Re: Looking for house color suggestions WITH PIC

i love the color of your house already. But if u want to change it what about a nice blue with white shutters. If u dont want to change teh shutters maybe you can go with like a darker tan color.

I LOVE your house and really like it the way it is but if you wanted to do something I like this idea....just freshen it up !

Otherwise I'm a fan of taupe for houses too.

Re: Looking for house color suggestions WITH PIC

Your house really does look good but I know we do need change some times. I personally like white siding with black shutters or a tan siding with white shutters and I've also noticed greens and blue siding are becoming popular but I don't know the exact shades. (some are nice and some I really don't care for) Good Luck! Chat Icon

I recently saw a house similar to yours with a slate blue color, charcoal roof, white trim, and charcoal shutters. It looked amazing.
