Need help with exterior paint color for hunter green roof

12 years ago

I need suggestions for exterior paint colors to coordinate with my hunter green roof. Greens are out as neighbors on both sides are green. Gray across the street and red 2 doors down. Thinking browns but can't seem to find the right shade. Any suggestions? I'm overwhelmed! Below is a link to the photo of the house as it is currently.

At your favorite paint store you should find an exterior color card. Not the small chips but a brochure sized card that shows exterior color schemes. Look for the 3 or 4 color scheme that has green for the shutters and a deep beige/taupe/clay color for the siding. Your roof is the "shutters" part of the scheme.
Good luck!

White looks good. It is striking next to that white ground cover on your lawn. Are you planning to get rid of that green weedy stuff mixed in with it?
