They probably use yellow because it is a cheery color and to make it stand out a bit. What look are you going for? Do you want it to stand out or blend in? Easy to find at night or not?

You could paint it in a color that blends in with the wooded area. Sounds like it really stands out from nature now!! I'd use an earth color; some shade of brown, grey or green. You will have fun with this!

Grey taupe with either black trim or darker taupe

There are many variations on this depending on your tastes. You can put a dark green with light trim such as egg shell. If you want a house that blends in, you can paint it to match your landscaping (to a certain extent).

Paint it a color that makes you feel happy; then you will relax just a little bit more every time you come home.

I like a slate blue with white trim.
