Paint colors
We had a tough time finding a green that didn't go minty looking. The pictures were taken in the winter here in Nashville. So the light outside was overcast and really affected how the color appeared. We went through many options to find something that worked well for the other exterior finishes. We went through several rounds of color including Escape Gray from Sherwin Williams and Weekend Getaway from Benjamin Moore. I believe the final decision was Benjamin Moore. As a recommendation, I would find several colors and have swatches painted on the house to see what they look like in the daylight and also on overcast days. It's great if you can see a color in light - really sunny vs. overcast. The color will appear different.
initial trim colour chosen was Benjamin Moore Fairview Taupe HC-85. When it was put on the trim though we realized that the contrast wasn't big enough with the Kingsport Gray so we darkened it. So it wasn't a true colour that you can replicate but something to start. from Benjamin Moore and the house colour is Kingsport Grey HC-86 and the plum is Grape Juice 2074-10.

basic paint colors are: Benjamin Moore 1504 darker green/ 1503 Lighter green/ 2134-20 midsummer night for the accent. Red accents are from Pella windows in the loft and Jeld Wen window in all other areas. This red matches Ralph Lauren TH44. I think the stone was Boulder stone. I did not settle for one color, but rather picked two colors and mixed them
