Gail Salminen on Feb 02, 2013@Pam Furlong - I too am partial to the terra cotta range of colours. What you may want to do is take a roofing tile, a piece of the siding and take the paint chips you are partial to and put them together to see what is most appealing. You may want a range of colours from the colour wheel that appeals to you best. PS would be interested in seeing the results if you have the time. Thanks for posting the question :)Helpful Reply

Tanya Peterson Felsheim on Feb 02, 2013I can see the images @KMS Woodworks showed working good. The idea is when you walk to the door, what color makes you WANT to walk through the door? Invites your company to want to see whats on the other side? The tourquoise is very popular right now...I think in a short time it is going to be yesterday's news, the terra cotta idea seems good, but might not have the pop you're looking for...Even a black door would be valid...or dark wood stain...Helpful Reply

WallsTreat Studio/ Kass Wilson on Feb 03, 2013Take a photo of the front of your home. Then download it to the SherwinWilliams color visualizer.

KMS Woodworks on Feb 04, 2013@Tanya Peterson Felsheim I have seen older pics of the Taos pueblo, some that are 20 years old or more...that turquoise has been in use for a long long time. You could call it a timeless classic.Helpful Reply
