Exterior color

I've been selecting samples for a possible exterior trim color for months. There isn't much trim at all since the entire house is stone, but there is some. The roof overhang, the ceilings of the porches and the garage door are the main areas, plus a bit around each window. The color right now is a putrid green color...a cross between limes and peas, neither of which should be featured on a house. Plus, it draws out the strangely green hued stones that I would much prefer to hide, not accentuate.

I am hoping to pull out the awesome charcoal colored stones of which are very few and far between. I have looked and looks for the right color and just couldn't decide.

Then our awesome roofer went above and beyond and managed to get the insurance company to pay for new gutters. Good thing since the ones we have are literally hanging OFF the house. But with all the money we are spending, new gutters were definitely not on the top 100,000,000 things to buy. Let that be an indication of how much is needed!

Anyhoo, my awesome roofer sent out his gutter guys and they will tear down, our guys will paint and then the gutter guys will come bak and install. Cool right? But even better they left a sample card of gutter colors and one of them is named charcoal gray which means...my options of paint color just dwindled drastically and I couldn't be more relieved!

Solution is = match trim paint to gutter color and live happily ever after!
