Picking House Colors 

"I recently purchased a home on 1.5 acres (built in mid-80's), that is situated in the perfect feng shui setting. I need your advice on exterior colors. The (new) roof is earth-tone cedar and cannot be changed. The present exterior is a peachy-rose. (In the photos, the colors appear darker and more intense than they really are.)

I plan to change the existing (white) gutters and down-spouts to the same color as the wood exterior re-paint (which will be light greyish-greenish-brown also called 'prestige beige or harvest home'), because the down-spouts, in particular, the one next to the front door, are not great design-enhancing features. Also, I plan to paint the window frames, garage doors, and deck railings a creme color to match the underside of the roof overhang. I'd like to put cedar planters and a small cedar bench near the front door to tie in with the roof color. Oh yes, and then there's the front door color (?).

I am looking forward to any advice you may have." ~SLYART
