[@DisneyCruiser-yb9vs]

Wow, thank you so much for this video and all of your detailed information!! Never have I been as impressed.

[@welshdesignstudio]

Glad it was helpful, and thanks for the compliment!

[@bruh_hahaha]

Just what I needed!!! My house has mixture of light warm color brick w wood siding. I’m doing the trim with SW Black Fox and the siding with SW Timeless White. Wish me luck!!! 🍀🍀🍀

[@welshdesignstudio]

Great color choices!

[@graceemanz]

Very helpful and informative. Well done! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@runawaynovelist]

Thanks for lrv information, I'm in PNW so I think still going with but Behr Nano-White with LVR 87. But only bc we have so many overcast days and tall foliage on the property.

[@welshdesignstudio]

Good idea! If you live in an area that is often overcast, a brighter and warmer white is usually best.

[@davidmendez9253]

Exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you!

[@welshdesignstudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vintageMIDI]

Excellent outline for B&W combos. Thank you!

[@welshdesignstudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carmengarza8122]

Thank you for your video, my husband & I were really having a hard time picking the color, the reason is that we really wanted our home with white brick, I think is called sandy shore white, & the options the brick place had, did not have what we had vision, so we got antique white brick, & is a farmhouse, thank God it still looks good, but the brick looks off white with pink tones...so that's why...we're struggling to pick....our original color plan was to play with white, black & wood tones, but felt a little confused when the brick tone is much more warmer than expected...but we like it...like said, gives a more rustic look,...so I am guessing black fox will be it, since you mentioned it goes with any whites, & also wood tones...you really made it easy for us! Thank you so much, God bless

❤ great video’s!! Thank you!!!

[@welshdesignstudio]

Thanks for watching!

[@NadiaJadvar]

I have a Mediterranean style home ( traditional arches) with terra cotta tile roof ( some dark gray tiles), wood doors in medium/dark brown. I am thinking of white walls (alabaster or BM Swiss coffee). I would love your suggestions on a trim color. The garage door is white & concrete pathways

[@nameparade]

Your video was amazing. Hope to learn more in a class from you. Can you please tell me the paints used in #1 SW Iron Ore? I guess the black is iron ore, what is the color used for the roof and whites in that picture. They go together really beautifully!

[@melanierosario8976]

Do you recommend flat or satin for exterior home paint? I don’t want it to be shinny.

[@jms4evr]

My house faces east, with a covered wraparound porch with railings and pickets. The exterior body of my house is Sherwin, Wiliams, peppercorn. I wanted to Use white dove for the railings and shutters around the windows After seeing your video. Do you think white dove would work for the railings and shutters up against the darker gray peppercorn? My painter wanted to use Sherwin-Williams extra white. Thank you so much for this video. It made so much sense, and I love your choices of white…😊

[@welshdesignstudio]

White Dove will look beautiful with Peppercorn. SW Extra White is a good option, although a bit brighter than White Dove. Another good trim color to consider with Peppercorn is SW Pure White, which is just slightly darker than Extra White.

[@jdsjas]

What sheen do you use on black gutters and windows?

[@everyneedtransportent853]

Great video! What are your thoughts on Sherwin Williams original white with caviar trim? The home is north facing on a tree lined street.

[@hoangnhigege]

Very helpful video! How about wrought iron and Swiss coffee? Any suggestions? Thank you

[@welshdesignstudio]

Both great paint colors! Paint will often look lighter on exteriors with ample sunlight, and Wrought Iron can look more like a dark gray than a black in some cases. Be sure to test them (and a few others) on your exterior before committing to one.

[@sandymackendrick6135]

I have a QUESTION We just built a one story farmhouse but I’m over white and black. I have chosen SW Canvas Tan and paired it with SW Rock Bottom. We are just about to order this but I’m Still unsure about Rock Bottom. Our home has board and batting across the entire north. Facing home. Your thoughts?

[@ppauliinaax]

Would white dove with iron ore trim look good?

[@pretty95138]

Love your videos..I want all soffit and fascia all white. Just few window trims will be SW iron ore. My house is facing SE and gets lot of sun. Which white do you suggest? I dont like whites that give off a hue of yellow. I really like white white...I went with SW High hide urethane for my kitchen cabinets.

[@welshdesignstudio]

Give SW Pure White a try.

[@IrvingAnaya]

What is your opinion of SW Cotton White on a southeast facing home that gets a lot of sunlight?

[@tbear1111]

Did you try this?

[@IrvingAnaya]

@@tbear1111 yup, looks great. Has nice yellow tint in evening sun. But it is a bit bright.

[@joanabington]

I love the content in this video, thank you! I love Wrought Iron for the trim, door and shutters which white would work best with this color? Thinking Agreeably Gray, White Dove or Collingswood. Any thoughts?

[@reason5591]

White Dove

[@user-em3eq1cj6m]

What do you think about Sherwin Williams Extra White with Sherwin Williams Caviar? My house gets a lot of sunlight.

[@welshdesignstudio]

SW Extra White can be a little bright, and lies on the cooler end of the spectrum. So, for a house that gets a lot of sunlight, it could end up looking too bright and stark. Testing a sample of it will tell you for sure. SW Caviar is beautiful for a "black" trim color.

[@minniegirl5619]

Hi I am in the beginning process of choosing paint colors (black and white) and your video definitely is helping. If I wanted to do the pure white with iron ore and the tricorn black for the door, front steps. Do you recommend? I do want to do my front steps and deck the same color unsure if the tricorn will be tooo dark?

[@welshdesignstudio]

Pure White and Iron Ore are a great combo. Tricorn will look good on the door, but could be a little too dark/overbearing on the front steps.

[@mistybanta]

What is the color combo of the very last pic with the "sampling is the ONLY WAY MESSAGE? Thanks!

[@breto7131]

Hi I am a big fan of your videos. I have a ranch style house that I painted magnetic grey based on one of your videos. It came out amazing and I am very grateful for your help. My house faces south and the grey appears lighter than the color card. Does your rules for picking off black trim still apply given my house is not white?

[@welshdesignstudio]

Love Magnetic Gray! Yes, in general the black trim rules still apply. For Magnetic Gray, all of the blacks in the video would work well, though a more neutral black would be my pick.

[@TheChrismarinucci]

What about SW White Duck paired with SW iron ore, we also have brown faux stone on the front

[@welshdesignstudio]

Great combination!

[@jnnemsky]

Great video ! All examples have dark garage doors. Can it work with white garage doors? I am just concerned with how much hotter garage will get with dark paint

[@welshdesignstudio]

Yes, you can definitely do a white garage door, or another "bridge color" like a medium gray.

[@rahulvn002]

Great video! Can you please tell the colour combination of your video thumbnail house...is it Hague Blue.

[@welshdesignstudio]

That house uses James Hardie siding in Arctic White, with SW Iron Ore on the trim, doors, etc.

[@everlenesmith5699]

What if your house has a section of light colored bricks. Does this factor in work the choice of white color. I also want my front to have a pop of color other than red.Any suggestions? Thanks

[@naheraadams1625]

I was thinking of doing sea pearl on exterior and iron ore trim- i want to do a dark brown on entry door and garage door, would that look fine? If so what color brown should i do on them. Thank you

[@welshdesignstudio]

Yes, that can work well. Some good dark browns are SW Turkish Coffee, Rookwood Dark Brown, SW Van Dyke Brown, and SW Dark Clove.

[@jackieh9608]

Would you use satin or flat?

[@adriancastillo1143]

Satin for sure.

[@juanito3821]

Definitely satin for trim

[@welshdesignstudio]

Flat is typically best for stucco surfaces, while a satin is great for siding and trim.

[@redvlvet77]

Hi. Any idea about Behr Dove white ? Thanks

[@dilbydoe4868]

Thinking of painting my house white dove with a trim, gutters and garage sw black magic. Will those pair together?

[@welshdesignstudio]

Yes, beautiful combo.

[@Iluvmydog172]

Hi!! Love your videos. We are have a difficult decision choosing the white color for our house. We have a black roof ( Tesla solar roof) and we wanted white color for exterior. After watching your videos, I am thinking about painting our house SW dove white with iron ore trim and Tricorn black for front door. What do you think?

[@welshdesignstudio]

That's a fantastic combination! Just be sure to get samples of all three and check them in person on your exterior before committing.

[@janhighnote3529]

What are you thoughts? Agreeable gray exterior, iron ore door and shutters, pure white trim??

[@welshdesignstudio]

That's a fantastic combination!

[@bmillerseven2]

I live in Florida so lots of light. Have a south facing home but with a huge oak tree in front that does partially shade the house. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

[@welshdesignstudio]

South facing homes can look great with any of the whites shown here. Depending on how much shade your tree gives, you might want to push the brightness a little higher, depending on the look you're going for. The best thing to do is get several samples of different whites, and view them on your exterior with your unique lighting conditions. View them in the morning, noon, and late afternoon, and see which one(s) looks best throughout the day. Then adjust as needed.

[@bmillerseven2]

Thanks. Went with Pure White and Iron Ore. It looks fantastic.

[@joncosta5477]

@@bmillerseven2we are thinking of doing the exact same combination. Any possible way you would be willing to share a few pics/video of your final results? Thanks!

[@MCButterflyKiss]

How would snowbound exterior with tricorn black trim look with a fair amount of daylight?

[@welshdesignstudio]

Those two colors will work well together. SW Snowbound is a soft, warm white, but it can take on a slight pinkish-taupe undertone is certain lighting. It’s one that needs to be thoroughly sampled before committing to it. I love Tricorn Black for accents and doors but sometimes find it can be a little too dark for trim. With ample light, it could be just fine.

[@miranda-r4s]

I just did my exterior doors including garage doors tricorn black. The siding is Aspen white B&B vinyl. The house is south facing and has black windows. Modern farmhouse. Looks great. I didn't want a black with undertones.I wanted a true black. .

[@nitenite7142]

I tryed the iron ore and it looks dark gray I want it to look like your pic 😢

[@welshdesignstudio]

Try SW Black Magic or even SW Tricorn Black

[@vickg]

Can i use benjamin moore seapearl on exterior with iron ore for garage door and caviar for windows and eavestrough gutters?

[@welshdesignstudio]

Yes! That will look great.

[@chestonsyma4877]

What do you think about Snowbound & Iron Ore combo for exterior?

[@welshdesignstudio]

It's a great combo! Snowbound is a white that can work great for some houses, and not so great for others, so it's not usually one I recommend at first. But, it can look fantastic when the lighting conditions are right.

[@CarmencarinValenzuela]

[@MCButterflyKiss]

Which is the white used in the picture with iron ore trim?

[@welshdesignstudio]

It’s actually James Hardie siding in Arctic White

[@sruthimamaduru2003]

how about wrought iron with white dove for east facing

[@welshdesignstudio]

That's a great combo, and should work well for an east-facing home.

[@VnR.Raquel]

What are the three colors used in the last home? It looks like brown on the garage.

[@reason5591]

To me it looked like a dark wood stain

[@madcreator1111]

Why don’t you use Kelly moore?

[@welshdesignstudio]

Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams tend to be more popular among homeowners and designers than Kelly-Moore, so that's why I usually focus on colors from those brands. Kelly-Moore has some great colors, however, so maybe I'll put together a video with some KM colors.

[@chestonsyma4877]

Melissa, I sent you a contact form on your website but didn't hear back from you. Was wanting to hire you out for paint consult.

[@welshdesignstudio]

I don't currently use a contact form on my website, so that might be part of the problem. :-) Send me an email at: [e-mail] if you're still interested in a paint consult. I'd love to help!

I'm sorry! I meant I emailed you. I emailed you on Monday Aug 14 at 9:42 AM CST. I'll resend it :)

Help…Off White House, off black trim… what color do I paint grange door??

[@welshdesignstudio]

For a white house with black trim, I love painting the garage door off-black, as well.

[@juniorjeune9885]

Like a Shoji and Iron ore

[@MercMadam]

I love a nice wood garage door with white and black. Makes it less sterile and offers an nice contrast

What about SW black magic for trim and doors?

[@welshdesignstudio]

Black Magic is a fantastic black, with a subtle hint of warmth to it. Great option!

[@NadiaJadvar]

I have a Mediterranean style home ( traditional arches) with terra cotta tile roof ( some dark gray tiles), wood doors in medium/dark brown. I am thinking of white walls (alabaster or BM Swiss coffee). I would love your suggestions on a trim color. The garage door is white & concrete pathways

[@user-em3eq1cj6m]

What do you think about Sherwin Williams Extra White with Sherwin Williams Caviar? My house gets a lot of sunlight.

[@welshdesignstudio]

If your exterior gets a ton of sun, you might find Extra White to be too bright, and not quite warm enough (might look too cold/icy). Maybe tone it down to SW Pure White? SW Caviar is fantastic.
