Paint for light grey roof
Hello, I need to repaint my house but am having trouble because of my roof color. Most of the houses in my neighborhood that have a pale grey roof are white. I refuse to paint my house white and am looking for other options. Right now I am leaning towards a med/dark grey white framing and a vibrant door. what would you suggest?

If you have a wood door in a natural wood finish, I would keep it, since it looks really nice and a bright color door is not really seen from the street anyway.
or
Farrow & Ball Down Pipe with Blue Gray trim and a Hague Blue door.
[You could lighten the tone ]
I like your yellow house. I would keep it yellow and paint the trim white. Paint the front door black to update it a bit. Get a larger black finish porch light.
I think it would like great on stucco, but I agree that the colours must be lighter.
I am sorry I could not find a more suitable photo.
@mmilos good advice since I'm in San Diego. I do plan on adding a lot of foundation planting to help shade the house a bit more.

Kim, hire a professional to help you. There's a reason why people such as myself exist. Choosing colours for an exterior is tricky business. You don't want to get it wrong because you're going to have to live with it for a long time. So are your neighbours. Google color consultants in your area or go to your local paint store and ask if they can recommend someone.
It's well worth the investment. Good luck.
Aja, thanks for the credit!
