What color is your house?
We just signed the contract for a new roof and siding for our house!!!
But I can't decide on a color....
I want something eye-catching and different...I like color! But I don't want something that's going to be offensive to people.....
Any ideas/suggestions?
Help!!!

What color is your house?
We had such a hard time too. Does the siding come in preselected colors?
We ended up going with yellow house, gray roof, navy shutters, red door
But I was also considering a nice grey taupe, with navy shutters and a black door and a sage green house with either red or a different green shutters.
Not sure if you've been to houzz.com, but if not, go there, it is like a pinterest for house ideas. You can click on Exteriors and look through thousands of photos of house exteriors. We used it constantly when remodeling!

Coastal sage and black shutters.
I was going to do tan siding but realized all the houses on my block were either tan or white

My siding right now is Beige but when we change it I want a Taupe/Grey color with Black shutters and a Red Door.

Re: What color is your house?
I should remember the roof color, but I don't- my neighbors have forest green siding with cranberry shutters and white trim. It's a small ranch and it's adorable.
Also, if you go to Sherwin Williams (or any paint store, probably) they have booklets with siding/trim/shutter combinations in lots of styles- Victorian, colonial, etc. So lots of color options all over the spectrum.

That's exactly what I'm leaning towards now...a dark grey (with blue tones in it) with white trim, black shutters and a dark grey roof.
Either that or medium green with white trim, black shutters and a dark grey roof.
