Exterior paint colors
We are about to repaint our house. While I love the current colors, I'm open to suggestions for something different. We're probably going to sell in the next 1-5 years, so we want it to appeal to a broad range of people.
Current colors:
House: deep purple;
Trim: Light yellow;
Doors/porch: Light, sage green
Front of the house:
Back door (by garage, so is the main entrance to the house):
The roof is new, and has black and some yellow in it, so new colors would have to coordinate.
Thanks for any input!
Re: Exterior paint colors
I do too.
It wouldn't keep me away, I think those colors are awesome, however, I'm sure the average non-D&R person might be somewhat put off by the colors. I think you have a pretty blank slate, can you try using the behr color function which allows you to upload a picture and change colors?
I don't agree. Even on here people are off put by colors that other people choose for things, but irl, I am constantly surprised by how many people that I would not consider decorating savvy or forward thinking D&R wise, like my house color, (SW Henna Shade), including my colorphobe neighbors. They are afraid to paint a color and can't think of colors, but love to look at my house. It has been a few years, and they still say nice things about it. Every single delivery person, door to door religion person, etc. has commented favorably on the color.
I think that OPs home is much more understated in the color choices, and is really quite unexpected, but not offensive.
