martin3 0 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Repainting the entire exterior of this bungalow. Looking for some Sherwin Williams color names.Leaning towards a greyish mossy-green or a greyish blue-green.The samples we initially bought were way too light... should've known it would look 3 shades lighter on the house than on the tiny sample card! Want to go with the same intensity of color (ie not too dark) as the existing color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flipper 11 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 how about this: flipper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan the Man 34 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 How about SW 6458 "Restful", SW 6451 "Nurture Green", or SW 6472 "Composed"?Tip: Paint a swatch on each wall of the house and observe how the color changes throughout the day; it will look different in light and in shadow.

Gooch 23 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 If in the Heights... don't care. Something tragic would be appropriate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subdude 1592 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I like the idea of mossy green, but with that architectural style you could really get away with a fairly dark color. It would be a nice contrast with light trim. Whatever else, not beige!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ross 1478 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I know, remove that awful wood siding and put some stucco on it, then paint it beige or peach. Got to get with the times and make it look like a Tuscan bungalow. Tile roof would be nice too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tile roof would be nice too.Don't forget the quoins!Seriously, I have always avoided green as it blends too much to the landscaping, but a rust color would look fantastic on a small cottage like that. Our 1930's home as an orangy-red brick on the first level w/ olive green trim, and I like the way it contrasts with the green plants. The downside is that the dark color will absorb more heat in the summer, but such is the price for a great color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UrbaNerd 59 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 A nice shale blue, with ivory trim would be perfect!See? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
