Main house color is light blue with white trim. I need a color for the remaining lower 1/4 that is lattice. I thought about a grey-blue or just grey, but not sure. Any suggestions?

I would not go to dark so I think a greyblue in the same color vane as the blue itself would blend nicely.

  Thank you! What do you mean color vane? Should it be light also?

If you go to the paint store that you purchased the paint they should have the paint chip with the color you chose. They usually come in three shades from the lightest to darkest.

  The light blue is siding, but I'll try to find chip as close to it as I can per your suggestion. Thank you!

Annie, it seems you have an idea of how to continue, just wanted to add you'll get more responses if you add a photo of your home. I always prefer white lattice, but that can change depending on the style of the home.

  @Z Yes, I'd like white too, but thought there might be too much white and since the lattice is close to the ground, I think the rain splash would make it look dirty all the time.

  @Annie, that doesn't happen as often as you'd think. At least not on ours which has grass and a few bushes (on the side of the house) next to it. We hose it off when we water the plants. Ours is vinyl so that might make a difference as it's not as textured as real wood lattice is. If you share a straight on photo, I can do a virtual for you.

  @Z I'll do the photo. No grass close to the house on the front or back, because of flower beds . No flowers in them at the moment. The two sides have grass.

  @Annie, hubby's taking me on a just a "him and me" get a way, something I desperately need, so if it's not today please don't think I forgot you. I don't even have to worry about our fur babies because our son lives here (while finishing college) to watch them. Makes this get a way so much more relaxing.

Thank you all for your suggestions. Think I'll see what Home Depot color swatches we can match. Will also buy a sample to see what it looks like.
