The Leaves Aren't The Only Things Changing Color

Our house has needed to be painted for a couple years, and this year we decided to bite the bullet and do it.  We struggled for a long time to determine the right color.  The original color was sort of a pale orange-beige.  It looks like a normal light brown here, but it wasn't.  It wasn't bad, but it was different enough that we were worried if we got the same thing, it would be too bright or too orange or something if it were a fresh coat of paint.  So we knew we wanted something different.  At this point almost all houses are some earth tone, with probably 90% of them being brown.  We looked at a lot of shades of brown, and either they were too similar to the neighbors on either side of us, or they were a gross shade or too dark.  There is a house on the street adjacent to ours that was a nice dark gray. and one next to it that was lighter gray.  Our first house was light gray before we painted it, and it was kind of a depressing color, so I didn't want to go that route again.  But I liked the darker gray one.  I found out what color it was, checked the swatches and found that it was actually more of a brownish-gray, called Porpoise.  Meghan was on board with it too, so that's what we did, using Faith Painting to do the work.  The front door and garage door are accent colors of a bronzetone, and the trim is a nice snowy white.  The main color is not quite as dark as it looks in the picture, as the shadows are on it, but we are really happy with how it turned out.
