From Robert:

"We're doing a restoration and addition to our 1890's Folk Victorian Farmhouse. We need to choose exterior paint colors very soon. We're leaning toward a basic white, but there's lots of trim that we'd like to highlight. The window trim will have to be white, because we're using some Marvin Replacement Sashes with a white cladding on the exterior. We're planning on adding shutters at some point soon.

Some details: Exterior is wood clapboard, with scalloped shingles on the bays and gable ends. There is a fleur de lis facia under the rooflines, and some decorative porch brackets."
