Help picking exterior house color
Hi Guys,
I'm hoping you may have some ideas for me. We are getting a new roof and gutters and we will also be painting the exterior of the house at the same time. We finally decided on the shingle color, but we're undecided on what color would look good for the rest of the house. The shingle color we picked is called Autumn Brown, and is a warm brown color (pic at the bottom). We are also planning on keeping the trim and gutters white, but I'm lost on what would look good for the main color of the house. I'm thinking something in a warm tone would look best but I would love some suggestions. For what it's worth DH says he doesn't care what color we paint it (he rarely has an opinion on home decorating stuff) and is leaving the decision up to me.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Re: Help picking exterior house color
Our neighbor to the left has a sunny yellow house with red brick, our neighbor to the right has a light beige with hints of green house. A lot of the houses in our neighborhood have been painted various shades of light brown or various shades of yellow or grey, but for the most part they all look like they're the original (lighter) paint colors.
One of our neighbors painted their house a darker color (dark brown) and we both like the way it looks, so we're leaning towards something like that.
Brown color will look good on exterior of the house and white for gutter. You can choose light color for your house that goes best with brown color.
