OK
I'm fully agree with @dytecture, bottom stucco must be darker in shade and above area can be painted in bright one. for darker shade go for green, brown and maroon.
Wow, what a huge improvement! Good job!
Keeping the flowers beds up (trimmed and weeded) and trim that bush (rose of sharon?) in the front will help a bit too. You could always add shutters to the windows for a different look. I really like how it looks now though compared to the before pictures.
We decided to paint the stucco the same color as the siding. Lowes tried to match the color the best they could. They matched the back of the siding sample instead of the front because they said there were shadows that made it too dark. I guess it turned out okay. It is better than it was before. Thank you all for your suggestions..maximum.jpg)
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.
