Vote Now: Pick a Perfect Paint Palette - Gardenista
A few weeks ago we asked readers if anyone wanted help picking perfect paint colors for a house exterior. As an interior designer, I love to solve paint dilemmas. This is how Vanessa’s house looks now. The first thing that struck me when I saw the photos was that her lovely windows disappear into the blackness of the current trim paint color. I chose exterior colors from Farrow & Ball, a durable line of paint that in my experience stands up longest against the weather without cracking, peeling, or fading. The walls of the house are Pigeon, the trim is Lime White, and the front door is Pitch Black. To play off the body of the house, I chose Lime White because it’s warm. The walls are Light Gray, the trim is Lime White, and the door is painted Hague Blue. The walls are Mole’s Breath. I also chose a darker white for the trim because I wanted it to have the same level of contrast against the darker gray wall color. Tell us which paint palette is your favorite and why in the comments section below.
