Exterior Color Suggestions for Craftsman Style Home

Posted 08-19-2010 11:14 AM by Pinnacles. 5 replies.

Hi.  I am looking for color suggestions for the exterior of my home.  It's mostly a Craftsman style home from around 1906.  I don't really care about using historic colors.  I just want the house to look its best.  The current colors are a bluish gray with white trim.  I have a slight preference to move towards a beige/light brown for the primary color and perhaps a white or off white trim, but I am very open to suggestions.  There are also three decks/porches that currently have a darker gray deck stain.  So, I need a suggestion for the deck color as well.  Thanks so much.  Pictures are attached.

     Gorgeous home! Here's the Sherwin Williams color scheme I see for you:

    Siding- 61576 Favorite Tan

    Trim- 6154 Nacre

    Window panes- 6158 Sawdust

    Porch floors- 6206 Oyster Bay

    Front door- 7682 Bee's Wax or 6361 Autumnal

    This will be a pretty big change from a simple cool scheme to a creamy warm tone-on-tone look with subtle porch floors and a welcome burst of color for the front door. Make sure you brush out big samples of the colors (at least 2ft x 2ft) to make sure you're happy with the choices. This combination will show off all of the lovely details while creating an inviting feel. Hope you love it!
