exterior paint color to coordinate with gaf elk weathered wood?

12 years ago

We're about to embark on a massive exterior restoration of our 1925 Dutch Colonial Revival - removing aluminum siding, repair and paint stripping of original clapboard siding and trim, etc.

For the new paint color scheme, we'd like to go with white trim, blue/grayish clapboard and eventually (in a later phase) black shutters.

Does anyone out there have the GAF/ELK Weathered Wood asphalt shingles with a blue/grayish house paint color? If so, would you be so kind as to share photos and the paint color name?

Elk WW will go with any paint color. That's the point of that color shingle, it is "neutral" as shingle colors go and will go with anything.
Pick away!
