Should we paint our gutters?
Hi guys,
so we finally got our new roof and seamless gutters installed (yay!) and the painters are going to be here to paint the exterior of the house and trim this week. We are torn between 2 colors for the exterior of the house (Sherwin Williams Yearling and Sherwin Williams Meadowlark) and are trying to find a trim color that would look nice. We're leaning towards the Yearling color for the main body of the house, but I think that would need a warm white trim color, while our new gutters are more of a bright white. If we went with the Meadowlark color we would probably need a "cooler" white, which might match the new gutters a little better.
DH doesn't want to paint the gutters since they are brand new, but it leaves me wondering if we went with the warmer color if it would look weird for the gutters to be left bright white and not painted the same color as the trim.
Here is a pic of the front of our house with the new roof and gutters. You can see the paint colors we are thinking about on the right garage door. Also a close up of our front door so you can see the gutters a little better.
Thanks for your advice!
