Exterior Paint Consultation The existing house color had too much pink so we went with a green beige undertone for the body and cream for the trim The lighter body of the house really made these beautiful plans just POP out for all to admire! We gave the front doors a dark teal for alittle fun! The new paint had to work with many other existing elements: the wood tone in the ceiling, the travertine decking, the gray door and window frames.
