My home is painted in SW anonymous. Painted the gable ends in Porpoise. The colors look exactly the same on the house. Was thinking of something like this, roycroft bronze green or urbane bronze. Any thoughts or other recommendations?

Hi there! Are your gable ends a different "material" (i.e. shake, board & batten) than your other siding? What color is your roof? Just want to have a good idea of how the different components play together before we tell you something to try. Feel free to email us a photo! [e-mail]

@@crawfordstreetdesigns same hardie board as the siding, roof is black walnut from tamco and I wrapped the porch post in cedar with dark walnut stain.

Hello! You said you’ve used Thunder Grey a couple of times on exterior projects. Is there a trim color you would recommend using with it? We’re painting our siding Thunder Gray, and can’t decide on a trim!

[@crawfordstreetdesigns]

That's awesome!!! We LOVE a good, deep siding color!! Since it is so dark, you really have a pretty big range (in terms of depth) that would work for a trim accent. Let me ask you this- how "light" are you thinking you want it to be? Do you want it to appear 'white' or more... 'off white'? Stark contrast? Or more of a subtle highlight? **Feel free to email us photos of your home if you want! [e-mail]

My neighbor has shoji white on a darker green/grey home. Looks really good if you like the contrast of dark with light trim.

We’re going with Analytical Gray for our trim! The samples worked really well with our Thunder Gray samples. Crawford Street Designs was a major help in leading us to our final decision!
