We're trying to select colors to repaint our home in Tampa and my wife loves your combination. What are the three colors; body, accent trim and gutters?
I don’t keep spec sheets on colors because every home I design gets special attention. What I will tell you is that everything should take its cue from the brownish color of the roof tile; that is the point of beginning. The next thing is that we chose the window frame color to match the brown in hue the best we could (doesn’t have to match perfectly…close is good enough). The same goes for garage doors and entry door. Then for the body (main color) you want a crisp white and the trim you still want white, but just off-white by a few notches (either in saturation or darkness). The concept with an Italianate design is that it is really meant to just be duotones: white and brown. Everything else plays off that. It is a very elegant palette and it really accentuates the foliage. Good luck!
