The Sellers did a good job painting the house very classical tudor colors. My wife is not a fan of the browns. I was thinking about maybe dark and light grays? However, it makes the dormer windows blend into the asphalt roof, and the house may end up looking too much like a single story ranch.
What do you guys think? Keep brown/beige, dark grays, or something else?
I was messing around with Sherwin Williams paint colors. The darker colors actually look realistic, but when you start adding white colors, it ends up terrible. But this should give you a good idea. The brown/beige is existing.
2 and 5 are the actual photos of the house from different angles. 1 and 4 are also the same.
The actual colors, as you mentioned, may seem off because the upper clapboard is 100 yr old, and the painter must have color washed it, or stained it, since the grain shows through. It is hard to describe. But here is the distressed 1920s clapboard look (it is painted here)
