What color to paint exterior shutters? And door?

We bought a wonderful 1950's house but the exterior paint is peeling and MUST be repainted soon. The wood trim is a beige tan (similar to Behr Riviera Beach) and since part of the house has siding that is permanently that color, so we are going with that. But what about the door and shutters? Right now they are the same beige tan. Help!

Comments (7)Thanks so much for responding, I love greeny/grey colours but our next door neighbour has their front door that colour so didn’t want to appear to be copying. Grey might be nice but do you think it will go with the existing creamy colour of the render or will it look a bit odd? We are due to repaint it anyway, so could change the colour of the render?

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoIf the roof is brown you could go with the darkest tone in the brick. Another color that might work with your brick and roof is Ben Moore's Tarrytown Green. I would leave the inside window trim white, as well as the trim along the roof and eaves. Your shutters and front door could be the Tarrytown and maybe keep the sidelights white. A couple urns out at the end on each side of your brick walkway. Personally, I'd remove the screen door, and put your house numbers to the right of the door on the brick facing the street.
The Tarrytown is really nice...

What a great house. We used SW Ravishing Coral on the door of a brick house we painted white (SW White Duck). It turned out awesome! We were really picky about the shade of coral and this was a great choice.
