Help me pick paint colors - 1917 Victorian

13 years ago

I'm currently in the process of stripping the paint off of the wooden siding on my house. It is mostly brick, except for the front bay window and the room in the very back (which I'm currently stripping). I'm stripping it down to bare wood, so a full color change is not an issue. Please help!!

If you are looking for a color scheme that is age-authentic, you might do better posting this in the Old Houses forum.
