Patrick Sinclair sends this mystery:

"I have been told this house in Georgian Colonial. I want to get it painted other than white and want to know my options/colors to stay within historical context. I have done some research and found it looks like a mix of Georgian Revival, Colonial and Federal. Although I don't know which one fits best. Any insight on colors and styles would be appreciated."

What's your guess? What style is this house, really? And... does it have to be white? Send your comments and ideas.
