What color should I paint my house?

I'll be painting the exterior of my house this fall, and I'm looking for suggestions.





A little background.. The house is a 90 year old 4-square home. It's currently pale yellow with cornflower blue trim. We just had new windows installed and they are white around the edges. Our home is the first home on the block in a diverse, urban neighborhood.





Please suggest three colors that play well together. We'll need a main color, trim color, and another for the little details.





Thanks in advance!

What color should I paint my house?
Go to www.sherwin-williams.com and click on homeowner and then click on launch color visualizer. When that window opens you can pick exterior and choose a house that's similar to yours. Then you can click on different colors to see how they look.





If your house is the first on the block then I'm assuming you have a corner lot. I wouldn't go with white because it will show dirt. It's hard to say without seeing your house or knowing what you like, but I like tan with green trim. Another thing to consider is what color your roof is. You don't want to paint a color that would clash with your roof.

green, purple, and beige/white.





green, tan, and a pale yellow





anything that looks different than the other houses but compliment eachother is perfectly fine...=D
Reply:I think it would look up to date with the house being a cream color and then the trim a chocolate brown, put in a dark walnut front door and some white trim, beautiful! Put some palm trees, a fountain, society garlic and hibiscus in the front yard and you have a tropical paradise.
