this is an aluminum house. i can keep the foundation red. instead of changing the siding what color should i paint the house? what would match the red foundation? dont forget the carport.
What a darling house! I like the red, consider keeping it no matter what color you choose. Do you want to stand out or blend in? A nice pale yellow with white trim would be pretty. A slate blue would also be attractive. What is prevalent in your neighborhood? Find colors you like and test them out before making a final decision.
Hi Aretha - We have a red brick foundation and painted our siding from a boring washed-out beige to a gorgeous colonial blue, with black shutters and white trim. BUT... here's the million dollar question. What do YOU like? Drive around your neighborhood or other neighborhoods and look at houses. What are you drawn to? What color combos do you love? What are you not fond of? Then go back in another week and do the same thing. You have the answer within. This is YOUR home. Make it beautiful for you. Hugs, Holly
A medium shade of grey w/red door (that matches the foundation). Grey is the new neutral.
