Choosing Paint Colors

Looking for a warm grey with white trim like the ones in the pictures. Things to consider - most houses have light bodies with darker trim. Using lighter trim will, in theory, expand the building visually, opening up rather than closing in and containing the space... windows will seem larger... interior colors alway appear two shades darker than you think - exterior colors will appear two shades LIGHTER... try samples... ended up picking Behr Meteorite, and learned another important tip - Write down the formula for the paint color you choose. Five years later you won't remember, the company may have discontinued it, or the paint store may have closed.

I like this color. It seems to disappear into space visually, it's very zen, very stealth, not intrusive and not overly trendy. It really sets off the greenery, looks fabulous with white flowers... It doesn't work well with blues (pots and furnishings), that's the only drawback. We have an ongoing discussion as to whether it is grey (I say) or green (John says). Perfect.

The house was built in 1963(ish) and has been painted a variety of colors including a lime-ish minty green, pink, taupe and powder blue. I figure those were subdivision trendy way back when. Will this be looked at that way?
