I'm at work now, but these are great suggestions to use the online tools so you can try out many options. Good luck and congrats on your new home!

And is there any PHOTOSHOP experts on here that can mess with my house with the colors? Thanks
To be honest with you, if that is the color stone being used around the base of the house, I am not sure that blue is the right color for it. That stone is very brown which I do not think goes well with blue. If the stone was more gray, then maybe but from this I would recommend going with a beige, green or yellow color. JMHO, Jay

I like the 500X344 pic color on the house (the 1st blue on my pc). [It doesn't have the color name on it.]

I DISlike the color in the 2nd pic (darkish gray-blue).

I also like the color in the 3rd pic, but it seems a bit bright. Unless it's the same color as another one, but just looks different in the pics.

I can't tell about the sample thingie.

Keep in mind as you are looking at the sample photos, unless your monitor is in perfect calibration, you may not be viewing a 100% accurate color. Notices are printed on paper samples warning of variations due to printing limitations. The same should be included in a computer generated and viewed sample.

I agree, and the blue is just too loud for my tastes (not that it matters to the OP ), kinda reminds me of the Smurfs.

Agree, the brown kind of throws off the "cool" color combos which is a shame.
