Calling Exterior Paint Experts/Designers

[Chris Trupiano]

I'm creatively challenged when it comes to picking colors. Being my person home, hoping some members with a better eye than myself could give feedback. My original thought was white main and black trim. See example photos of Benjamin Moore glacier ice, and black jack (bottom) and sea pearl, and black (top), as well as, front photos (unpainted). Thanks for all help!!

I am a huge fan of the white with black trim trend, I think it works well with many styles of architecture. My main recommendation is to use a warm white like Benjamin Moore Simply White. Glacier Ice looks like a cool white with blue/green undertones. You don’t want to use a white that is too bright/cool; if you do your house could be blinding to look at in full sunlight. Going with a warm white or a white that has some creaminess to it, is the way to go to achieve an eye pleasing white/ black contrast.
