panjetty: I think the color a house should blend into the neighborhood homes. The exterior paint on a home should not stick out like a sore thumb. If a person lives in a San Francisco neighborhood where the houses are called painted ladies, you might paint your home purple and that purple would blend in for that particular neighborhood (photo below). Some neighborhoods (gated communities) dictate to the home owner what color house is acceptable, so the gated community neighborhoods always remain beautiful & cohesive. I do not disagree with you, but I always look around the neighborhood before I have my houses painted and I appreciate my neighbors who also look around the neighborhood and choose colors that blend in and do not "make a statement".

People here usuallly choose light colours but i wanna try something attractive....like something new to them..Please help me because My sister's wedding is coming. :)

Hi Thea. Your new home looks amazing already (even without paint) - congratulations! You have plenty of visual interest with the stonewalls, balconies and stepped architectural features, so I would suggest you keep your colour scheme fairly low key and neutral so as to not compete (less is more, sometimes!). You could pick out the lightest coloured stone and work with that; if it's a grey tone, for example, choose a similarly toned paint colour.

I think i'd use subtle blues and/or greens against that brick, which i would use a sealer on to bring up the color a bit. White would be rather boring on the windows i feel, i'd use a darkish muted red or charcoal maybe for this detail. Such a pity to adopt boring western color codes when you have such a fabulous tradition for color in India. You don't have to go crazy on flashy color and can adapt it to a more modern feel. Very cute little house, i love it's details.
