Hello,
I am looking for suggestions on paint colors for the exterior of my home. I have attached a photo. I don't know if I should go with a dark paint and with light trim or light paint with a dark trim. I am throwing around the idea of a grey paint with either a creame or white or black trim. Many of the older homes have a really nice grey color with a white trim which appeas very tradtional which I love but am wondering if the architecture of my home would suit this. I would love some fresh ideas. I have been to a few paint stores for some ideas but nothing really sparked me up.
Thanks in advance!!!

If you are using hardcoat stucco, light color would be perfect.
Just have to say what a beautiful house and why would you want to paint it looks great as is.
Love your house, but that is a really hard question. I'm not sure about the grey, but I am thinking more of a lighter house with darker trim. Don't know if this would suite your house, but I really like the look of a light tan colour with black trim. Doing your house is such a bit undertaking maybe it would be worth while to hire someone to help you.
