In reply to Terry. Hi Terry! This is a good question. I feel like what you are describing will look good. My sister, who recently retired, moved into my parent's old wood house, which has a white/grey tin roof. If my memory serves me correctly, I think we went with Alabaster for the siding. I am checking with her to see if it has been painted. If so, I can email you a photo to see what a white roof and white siding will look like. Last, I always encourage my clients to search google or Pinterest for houses with the same elements. In other words, search google for (white house with white roof) and then click images. This will show you lots of photos. I hope this helps, and I will be in touch with a photo if it has been painted. Good luck and have a great day!

We are retired and downsizing to an eco-friendly farmhouse in the future. I want to paint the exterior Sherwin Williams Alabaster. The porch columns and garage doors will be a dark cedar stain. The front door is to be Sherwin Willams Georgian Bay blue. Window frames are black. It is on a slope, so the foundation is going to have an old red/gray brick facing. I am hoping (against the advice of friends & family) to have a white shingle roof, or a VERY light gray. Summer temps above 110° need to be reflected! With alabaster being on the warm side and most white & gray shingles having a “cooler” edge, I need an objective opinion. Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you!

Hi Ann! It sounds like you have a lovely house. I love a white house with a red door and black shutters. Email me at linda@lifeonsummerhill.com with your photos. I will do my best to help. Also, include what colors you are thinking of for the siding. I check my emails daily, and sometimes things end up in spam, so reply here when you send it so I will know to check for it.

We are having a really tough time choosing paint colors for our house. We have painted the brick white and trim white but want to paint the siding a pretty color. We want black shutters and a red door. We live near the beach but it’s not a beach house. It’s more traditional and our decor is traditional. Please please help!!! I can send a photo

Can I see all your colors of paint that I could use on my porch? Maybe in the Gray family.

In reply to Laura. This is a very good question. If my memory serves me correctly it is Pavestone by Sherwin Williams. If you want something a little lighter try Repose Gray. I think that would be pretty too. Good luck on your exterior painting project!

Do you know what paint color is used on the shutters of the first house (painted Alabaster)? Thank you!

That is a good question. I do not have the exact color of the trim but if I had to guess it looks like pure white. As far as a front door color check out my blog post on popular front door colors. https://lifeonsummerhill.com/modern-front-doors/ It is a great place to look for ideas.
Repose gray matches almost all colors but I love blue tones with it the most.

What color trim is used on the Repose Gray exterior body? How about an accent color for the front door (no pastel please. Area gets an awful lot of morning sun, hence not black either.). Thank you

In reply to Rachael. Hi Rachel! Your house sounds lovely! These are all good options. My first choice is neutral. Repose gray is a great color for a neutral. If you know you are painting your house I would pick up samples and paint around a window with the white and the repose gray. Leave it for a day or two and see how you like it throughout the day as the lighting changes. If you feel the repose gray is too light then I would try Pavestone. I hope this helps and good luck!
