What color should I paint the coop?

[KelsT]

the color of the house probably doesn't matter too much since they aren't that close



Its primed in grey... I like and don't like the grey it blends in and kinda disappears... but it also seems kinda boring. We where not able to get roofing that matched the shop as you can kinda see. the roof on the coop is the forest green that metal roofing comes in. so it really doesn't NEED to match the shop. Our actual house is green.

I am also thinking of painting the 2x4 run structure as well to help preserve the wood that or staining it....

any ideas?

Do you want it to be bright and funky? I'd go with a vibrant blue towards the green spectrum or a purple towards the blue spectrum. You could also do a light/bright yellow

Oh boy! A blank slate! My suggestion would be to go onto Pinterest and type in "chicken coop." You'll get to see tons of photos for inspiration! Here's a link to my chicken coop board to get you started. Have fun!

Found these color in the oops paint area saved a lot of cash and I like it. Man what a lot of time it took to paint but it will be a lot easier to clean!

-- The "oops" paint can be a huge savings - another option if you find yourself needing to paint again and are not picky about color is the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store locations if htere is one near you
