Hi, I need help. I have to pick exterior siding, roof, shutter and stone/brick combo for our new home. I am torn because I dont want to use the brown, or red combo that most use on thier home. so I included pictures of the home (to be), and what I want to do.. Please let me know what you think and suggestions on the color combination and whether to use stone or brick
thanks!

This is the design of the house



I am thinking Black or dark gray roof, navy shutters, and tuscan clay siding. I am not sure if I want to go with stone or brick

The front door



Siding color



Here is a virtual pic of the color combination

If you want to consider something a little more traditional, you could think of a federal blue colour for the siding -- there seems to be one of those blue-grey tones in the siding menu -- and either stone or brick accent masonry, a charcoal grey roof, and shutters that could well be cranberry (also a good exterior colour for the front door). If you don't like the idea of the cranberry trim colour, you could consider using navy blue to contrast with the federal blue (blue-grey) siding.

I'm a big fan of that color scheme. I love neutral and drk blue together, maybe thats why our house is a grayish color siding with blue accents!

I am also a huge fan of stone so I say go with stone! Wish I could have done the same but it was just too expensive for us to do that!

Good luck and enjoy your new home!
