External house paint color
5/8/2017 at 9:52 AM

Looking for some advice on paint colors. I am pretty confident that we are doing like an olive (ish) green (similar color to lady of the lake), as our main color. But need advice as what to do with our main accent color. I'm not a painter, and we're almost stuck on the color....does brown go with it?? geesh lol

They are VERY knowledgeable and can make suggestions. You can look at the colours together on the "fan deck" of colours to help you decide. I am suggesting a rust colour rather than a brown, but there is always good old grey or white for trim.

Agree Janzen's are very helpful. Last time we painted our interior I hired someone to help pick the color/tone as have made too many (expensive) mistakes in the past. It was well worth it!

When we painted our exterior we drove around and found colors of houses we liked Then I brought samples with me and held them up to the house (yes I did ask permission to do this) to duplicate the look.

I think olive green and brown would be too dark together. Imo

We booked a consultation with Timber + Lace Interior Design for help with our paint colors. She came to our house for an hour and a half and brought some paint fans. She sent us a typed up summary afterward with all the spiny colors we had discussed. I think it was around $180, totally worth it.
