Painting the roses red? or green? or blue?

Below are some color ideas we've come up with using the Sherwin Williams Paint Visualizer. This software is both a blessing and a curse since it basically lets you take any color in their catalog and apply it to a picture of your house. With the walls, gables, trim, accents, etc and all the paint color options the choices are basically infinite. I had to painstakingly go through the photo and mask all the different parts of the house but once that's done you can drag and drop any colors you like. We're defiantly not settled on anything as of yet. Here are a few that we like but are very open to input from others. Click any image to view it larger.

This green and purple is probably our favorite right now. Ask again in a few hours and you may get a different answer.

I'm not sure that we want to go with a yellow/tan for the base of the house but this one is still in the list of ones we like. Basically there is a brown house to the left of ours, and blue one to the right, and a yellow and green across the street. This makes picking colors slightly limiting but there are a wide range of colors in the neighborhood so really anything goes.

There seems to be a recurring green theme but like I said we're open to suggestions. We just need to come to a decision sometime in the next week or so.

  1. I like the top one best! Is the top color purple, though, or more of a dark gray? Bottom one is my least fave, but they all look awesome. Nice visualizing, guys!:)

  4. I like the top one as well. I think that the gable vents scream that they wanted to be painted the accent color or at least the louvers the accent color and the frame the trim color.
