Suggestions for house trim color

Question

Hi, Our home is a light beige, the roof, trim and gutters are dark brown, the shutters and front door are maroon . I am looking for suggestions to change the trim, door and shutters color that will go with the brown roof.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

In my opinion I would match the color of the shutters to brighten up the house.

Lisa Harrill · Answer

If this is the picture of your house, I would consider something a little more fun such as an eggplant or aubergine, or possibly a medium to dark blue

Kylie · Answer

Hello , why not consider painting the shutters and door a dark inky blue (almost black) and paint your trim white to match your windows and pillars out the front.

Anita · Answer

Consider black trim and shutters with black planters filled with colorful flowers.

Its hard to tell the true color of the house, It looks grey. If that's correct I'd use a deep plum.. If the color is a light tan with the brown you said as trim, I'd go with terra cotta to rust color..for the shutters and a bright punch of the same palate  several shades lighter  for the door .. If daring try a golden for the  door.  Same intensity just lighter and brighter

Jeanette S · Answer

I think I would paint all that brow out with the same color as the house to eliminate the look of being outlined with a pencil look.  Then paint the shutters and door a dark cranberry and leave the posts white!

Jean Thompson · Answer

I would go with White Trim and a Cheery Yellow or Lighter Blue, think of Brown as a Neutral -when you add a bright Color the brown is just a contrast.. need some wild color to draw eye to house.. Just my thoughts..

I have light cool gray house and just did doors a darker teal; I love it!!!  Nice pop of color and painted little accessories on porch same color.

Catherine Bowser · Answer

Your home looks more gray? Make it pop for that curbside appeal.  Use a dark sophisticated purple.  Set up planters in the same color.

Lovely home!

Joan Taylor · Answer

My house is gold and I also have a brown roof.   I painted the front door orange and love it!  Our trim is something called antique gold, and it has a rusty orange tone.

Debbie · Answer

Try a medium green with gray undertones i.e. BM Provincial Park. I would also tone down the bright white with something more of a winter white. Good luck.

G. Carter · Answer

Our home was light beige w/brown roof and we painted the trim a dark blue green.  This was the 70's so maybe not the best color scheme, but I have fond memories of it.

Catherine Bowser · Answer

Let us know what you decide!

N. Susan Hart · Answer

Get some paint samples in colors you like from your paint store.  Try them out, and see which one you like and looks the best.  Sometimes it is surprising.
