I think it depends on the surrounding setting. Is it surrounded by trees and greenery? Or is it more in a rocky or dessert area? What color are the surrounding houses?
It is on the top of a mountain (no surprise for those who know me!)
The closest home is creamish-yellow with a red metal roof.
There are trees, but no woods - close to the house site. There will be rocks approximately 2 x 2 in size lining the gravel drive. The foundation of the house will be Pennsylvania fieldstone with grays and rust colors.
THANK YOU! This is the kind of info I'm trying to get at So you think lighter colors make a ranch home appear larger?
Seems like everyone is agreeing on the taupe so far!
You're welcome! Taupe would be a good color to go for. Actually instead of using a stark white trim, try an eggshell/linen colored trim to help soften the contrast between the taupe...you can even go deeper with your taupe into a color like Natural Clay or Rich Wheats, Sandstone, etc. It will still give you color definition but a much nicer look.
Did you know that you can go online to sherwinwilliams.com and they have a visualization site? You can download a picture of your house, then mask off different areas..the house, trim, door, shutters, etc and make them any color you want.
It's really fun and will help you get an idea of the final result.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll go there now and look into it
