I think so too. You're going to need some little white lights now...

Yours kinda reminds me of my own coop (first coop).
Here are old pictures of my colors, before completion, .... just a touch of the red family, I like.

We are in a daily thunderstorm pattern right now. Will continue when I can see one completely dry day.

Great choice on the colors. I didn't think they looked all that bad before but really think they pop now. Richer looking. And little white lights would be great too.

Thanks for sharing your process.

I was driving down town yesterday and noticed that my city just repainted the trim on a few of the historic brick buildings in the forest green/burgundy colors. I immediately thought of you and your chicken coops! (LOL! Not sure that's what the historical society had in mind...)

I love the color combo!

That's awesome! Well, the garnet color is called Victorian Garnet, after all. I like the rich, deep tones for buildings in the woods. Now, if the stupid rain would just quit so I didnt have to stop in mid-project...

I love the Garnet trim with the gray green
it looks smashing. A really great choice.

Cynthia,
They look great- without actually seeing them live I couldn't recommend a third door/trim color, but I would vote for looking at a rich creamy shade, with a touch of gold to it- you need something lighter to pop against those deep jewel tones, maybe? The green grey just comes out grey on my computer - wish I could see the real thing.
Who makes your paints? I could see if we have the color charts (I work for an interior decorator).

More progress today. Still no final decision on the pop door.

The Color Place by Walmart was the green-gray and is the Victorian Garnet color. The dark ivy green is ACE Royal paint, which goes on very nicely in one coat.

Oh yea, I like that, ALOT! Looks great!
