My mother got new taupe colored siding to the top half of her house. The bottom half is stucco. It looks strange. What color should she get the bottom stucco painted? The soffits, facia and shingles are brown. The windows are white pvc.

I tried a colour match for you with both white and dark trim (to match the rain gutter).

Yes I agree you should try to mach to colour.
Thank you for the picture. Are you able to create a picture showing what the house would look like with the same color as the siding? What would it look like if the bottom half was a few shades darker than the siding?
Hi yqr, I would actually recommend painting the bottom stucco area darker shade as it grounds the house.
I too think that the stucco should be the same colour as the siding.
I would match the colour of the siding. Make it blend in. You do not want to draw attention to it and any other colour will cut the house in half which looks funny. I would also check out the solid stains instead of paint as stain will soak into the stucco/concrete and last alot longer than paint which just sits on the surface.
