Choosing the body color and trim was easy… taupe and brown. The accent color took a little more thought. Our other Rummer neighbors have chosen china red (reddish-orange) and I love it, but didn’t want to have the same color… that’s a bit boring.

Last year we installed the new front door and painted it a beautiful turquoise… perfect mid-century color! It works well with the browns and adds some fun to the exterior of the house. I might also note that I’ve somehow incorporated shades of turquoise throughout the interior as well, so I must really love it!

Paint Specs:
Body Paint: Evolution velvet #0233m — Miller Paint
Trim Paint: Ultimate semi-gloss #CP103 (Oxford Brown) — Rodda Paint
Accent Paint: Unique II low-gloss #LA1210* (Forest 4) — Rodda Paint

*This is a Laura Ashley paint color, but it’s not available in an exterior paint. Rodda did a custom match.

New Question:
Do we paint the garage doors taupe or turquoise? I’m leaning toward turquoise… that will definitely make a statement. We can paint over it with the body color if we hate it or causes the neighbors grief.
