im talking about paint colors.. our paint does match the house.. and icky brown 70's color but i dont want it toooo... color ideas?
First, think about what you LIKE. For the moment, forget the house colour. Do you like earthy colours? pastels? brights? pure shades? muted tones? Do you like a practical clean look? Busy cottage whimsey? Elegant? Rustic?
Decide on your style, and hte types of colours you prefer, THEN find ones that will coordinate well with the house colour (of course, you could simply paint the house, too
)
The suggestion of using the house paint as a trim or accent colour is a good one, it will tie it in with the house without large swaths of a colour you dislike. Go to Lowes or Home Depot or any paint store and look at their sample booklets and cards. What appeals to you? Many of the major paint brands have online tools for playing with different colour schemes.
