Light green (ugh!) roof - what color to paint house?

[Anonymous]

If your roof (that you aren't replacing right away) is light green and your house is painted cream brick that need to be repainted, what color would you repaint it?

[Anonymous]

I'm having a hard time imagining this. Can you find a photo similar online and post it?

First reaction though, white. Dark gray shutters.

Something like this, but doesn't look quite as green when you see the whole house.

I can't find a photo of a brick house with a green roof, but this house has one and is painted white, and looks fantastic IMO:

White or off white. Coral door.

Definitely white or off-white. Red, maroon, or coral (like PP suggested) door would look nice in my opinion.

WHITE with accent door. Avoid green trim.

Bright white, gray shutters, red door

When I was growing up, my neighbors had a green roof. The house was white with black shutters and a red door. It was lovely.

Imagine it as a copper roof with a nice patina and then think of your paint color.

Yep - that's it!

OP here - thanks. So universal opinion seems to be white.

Or get a new roof.

If you really want a change, I think a light gray might work. Whitewashed brick would be interesting as well.

No to the coral door.
