I was flipping through this month’s HGTV Magazine and completely fell in love with the curb appeal of this stunning Queen Anne home. Mind you I have a thing for blue houses and we almost bought a gorgeous blue cedar sided house when we bought our house. But I digress.

Let’s talk colors! The owners of the above house used Benjamin Moore Exterior Paint in the following hues:

House: Hale Navy HC-154

Trim: Oxford White 869

Shutters & Trim: Aura 169

Porch Floor: Comet 1628

If you are looking for a bold, colorful exterior refresh and have a hard time picking a winning combination out of the infinite number of color choices, look no further.  I have created four awesome exterior paint schemes that are not vanilla cookie-cutter yet would look sophisticated on any Southern house.
