Thank you
Inquiring what #9 paint color is called- does anyone know? Thank You!
Jen that is a beautiful blue! We haven’t been able to track down the specific color from the original blog post or the designer’s site. Hope you can find a good match!
Do you have a paint brand and exterior color for the dark teal craftsman style home (#5?)
Hi Chris – Sorry that information isn’t available from the original post or a quick Google image search to try to track down the real original. That blue-green-black is really beautiful – good luck finding a match!
I absolutely love the selection of dark exterior colors in this post! The idea of painting a house black or deep charcoal really gives it a modern and sophisticated feel. The visual examples were inspiring, and I’m considering a dark hue for my own home. Thanks for sharing these amazing ideas!
