What gray is this? Want to paint house exterior this color.

15 years ago

Hello,

We will be painting our house exterior, and I love the color of this house that I saw. Anyone have any idea what color this may be or a BM color that comes close to it? We are also replacing the roof with dark charcoal shingles. Will also take other ideas for house colors. The house in small, so I don't want to do a dark color. The first pic is of my house, the second is the house with the color I like. Thanks.

PS - We already got rid of those overgrown bushes..this pic is 2 years old.

Your home is darling! Personally, I like the color you have now, better than the grey house. Your color is so classic and it just looks like a doll house! I would leave it alone!

Best wishes!

I like the gray color and I would just knock on their door and see if they know what color it is. I've done that before when I've wanted to know the name of a plant.

Just saw a very pretty house painted a very light grey in Southern Living (I think!) and the homeowner said she used Ben Moore Cliffside Gray with Behr Swiss Coffee for trim. (that's a white.)

Our house was a rather light gray when we moved in---recently painted by the seller. A few years of California sunshine bleached it out to an almost white. I would never paint a house "light" gray to start with after seeing that.

Your home is very cute with the dormers, and the light gray of the 2nd home looks like Cape Cod gray, which is the color of our home.

Our neighbor did their cottage home in a light green with white trim and accents of dark red along the trim. It's adorable now (especially because it was sort of peach colored before)! I'll try to take a picture of it to see if you might like that.
