The colors on the house are as follows: white, a very grayish light blue, gray in the concrete steps and stepping blocks, and then in the front we have a few walls that are basically white with shells embedded in them to give them a slight grayish/brown tint (up close). We also get a few accent colors from the steel railings and the gray front door. The concept is to give the very complicated massing of the home a "washed out" look so it doesn't appear too busy and overwhelming. This also helps accentuate the foliage. Another cool thing about having such muted tones is that the shadows make the building come to life throughout the day...in other words, at different points of the day (and the year for that matter), the sun will pop out different portions of the building. Hope that helps - good luck!
