Please find our version of FLW inspired home elevation -- still in the deign phase.
Can the experienced GWebbers suggest some exterior color options that will work with this style.
I had some Grey tones in my mind, but observed that were already tonnes of greys in the neighborhood.

Thanks in advance for your consideration and suggestions.
