My 1965 ranch style home has a blue-stone on the front, the rest is white vinyl siding. The garage door was previously painted white which was an eye-sore of a contrast with the stone. I painted the garage door in Sherwin Williams Adaptive Shade along with the shutters. I put Van Dyke Brown on the front door. Total game changer for curb appeal.
Great advice, thanks! Also, would you happen to know the blue and greige colors on the house at the 4:08 timestamp. I have painters coming next week and I'm still undecided on the exterior. I absolutely love the look of that house and would happily go with those colors if I could find them.
Hi Caycee, thank you so much! I'm not sure exactly. But it looks something like a BM Hale Navy, and for the gray, it's looking like something like a BM Granite or Stone? Hope that helps!
I have a blue teal metal roof and have that same for gable flashing so that really limits my options. Current house colour is yellow but that is not a favourite for me. Would like to go darker but very few darker colours compliment that roof colour.
Hmm, your roof intrigues me. Without seeing it, my first hunch, if you want something darker was to consider a terra cotta? You could even lean more orange depending on your preference.
Excellent video. I have given thought to the exterior of my home, BUT … it would also mean changing ALL the trim. My house is white with black shutters and black wrought iron. I will probably be thinking a good long while 😉
As always James...such great and helpful information. My dilemma is we just purchased an ugly house. The market was a nightmare this summer and we started to panic after missing out on 10 prior offers and picked the house no one else really wanted. It is an ugly yellowish with ugly brown trim. I really am hopeful that we can paint it next summer but my hubby is kind of bummed as it is cement board siding and metal trim. Both of them are little maintenance as is now but will become more work once painted. Oh sigh...we will see.
Hey Tiffany, there are no ugly houses, just ugly paint! Make sure you wash your siding well before you paint and choose a 100% acrylic exterior paint. Should last you 10 years though!
My roofline (color) which is visible, needs to be considered for my exterior paint color…..my tan roof needs a warm or neutral paint so that it blends….
I have charcoal tin roof want farmhouse look so I’ve painted shutters black siding is soft grey so should I paint inside of windows black or leave my railing is white n porch floor is black not sure about painting the windows black can you help
Hi would you happen to know the colors at 6:46, including the roof shingle, the body, and the trim? Would these color go well with cream/yellowish nature stone cladding? Thanks!
Are you familiar with Ryan Homes Silver Mist siding color? I’m building my first house and they don’t have any completed in the neighborhood yet. I’m looking at the Silver Mist, Georgian Gray, or maybe even Irish Thistle (though, I don’t think I want green long term). The house is unfortunately all siding with a small base of stone. I like earth tones and such…would love to maybe add some wood to the outside (replace the shutters), but we’re limited on color choices to start. It’s in TN and should get a decent amount of sunlight. Any thoughts between the Silver Mist and Georgian Gray when actually up on a full house? The grey would have navy shutters and the silver mist grey ones.
Hey Devon, yes, sorry, I did a deep dive into Ryan Homes and then I lost your comment! All of their color pairings work. My eye leaned more towards the Georgian Gray, simply because you do get a lot of light so you can go darker and I prefer how it looks paired with some of the stone. But both combinations work.
@@thepaintpeople thank you very much! That’s actually what I’m leaning toward. I thought about their pewter and Irish thistle color as well, but given items unfortunately mostly siding, I feel it may be wise to go with a lighter color for long term aesthetics and heat distribution. Thanks again!
James! Help! We have a barn red painted cottage type house with grey porch and black trim. I want to paint the two exterior doors BUT with all that color I am not sure what will POP as a color other then them 3? Will take suggestions from anyone else as well! Thanks 🙏
Gray, red and black already go great together, and will create a nice backdrop for almost any color! For a complementary color that will pop against red, my first instinct is the blues, nearly any shade could work. What do you like?
Do you have a recommendation for a Benjamin Moore blue-grey for the exterior that would look good near cobalt-colored items? (We are on a river with some sun and some shade from large oak trees. We plan to have a nearly black roof.)
@@thepaintpeople Thank you very much for the suggestions! I’ll definitely check those out! I have the little strip with Oxford Gray and think it looks especially good with light. It’s pretty dark in the shade here. What do you think of November Skies that is next to it on the strip for an exterior? (I love Lily White on that same strip that’s in our master suite.)
He would not approve of my neighborhood- bright lemon, vivid sky blue, pumpkin orange, and my brick red. We won’t mention the purple used in so many houses
I'm not trying to care about the colors of my neighbor's homes 😅 I want my house to look the way I want my house to look. I also live in a neighborhood of brick homes so...
Sir, You want to help us choose the best colors for our homes. May I make some suggestions about how to improve your videos? Please speak slower, so we can keep up with your valuable ideas. Most importantly, please show more, many, many more PICTURES of your suggestions and many fewer pictures of YOU! That's what we need to see, not you.

We love that curb appeal!
Another draw back to bold or dark colors is they fade like crazy here in Florida. Even neutral greens aren’t the best.
Great tips - as usual - and perfect timing.
Hope your project turned out well!
Thank you for this . U really explained it very well for an architect
That is great advice,look around the neighborhood. Thank you
Thanks Marlys!
I live at the beach and our colours are bit more vibrant and white trim is WHITE trim. I’m ready for a video on coastal colours.
A thoughtful tipster... Thanks for your opinions. Blessings, Latina
Thoughtful tipster indeed! ;)

If you can’t find a color that complements a brick facade, then the brick can be stained.
Im in a neighborhood with no rules. Main body of house is macadamia from sw , trim moderate white (i think) my door is a pumpkin orange from behr.
Rules as they say...are meant to be broken I suppose! Pumpkin door sounds nice!!
My house is stucco and it seems like everything i paint on my house looks very warm. I'm not seeing things go more blue. They seem to be going warmer.
Hi, will Ethreal with a dash of stone cutter good for external?

Have you looked at Oxford Gray or Gentleman's Blue? Normandy is nice too or even an Alfresco might be nice!

Could you please tell me the colors used at 2:42 in Sherwin Williams's paint, please? Thank you so much!
Yes I would love to know what color this is!
All my neighbors have beige colors in the neighborhood… just like 2-3 have used gray last year.. I want to be different. Blue/gray
Be you!
Need help picking an exterior paint colour for our home in the Caribbean, however we don't have neighbors
Hi Diane, can you describe your home for me and is there a direction you'd like to go?
The colors inside my house are all bright and bold. But I painted the outside gray. Oh well.
He would not approve of my neighborhood- bright lemon, vivid sky blue, pumpkin orange, and my brick red. We won’t mention the purple used in so many houses
Really? Sounds fun!
Can I just send you a photo of my house and you choose the colors😔😩 #adhd
I hear you Hope. If you send a pic on our instagram, and have narrowed it down to a few colors, I can definitely offer up an opinion?

Wait... the Sun is outside? Explain this again, maybe go a bit slower.
Too much talking
So more mime?
Haha, yes! I prefer sign language and smoke signals
