[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I tend to be a boring classic person.
Our old house was the tiniest bit pink tan. Ok well, sometimes it definitely looked pink. It was stucco. Burgundy-ish red door. The garage matched the house. 
I painted it Greige with a Navy door. Painted garage a bright white (not white, but you know).

Currently we are a tan-yellow or a yellow-tan. We are the only ones in the neighborhood.

I just analyzed all of my data, and[b] if I wanted to completely fit in, the highest #s are tan siding, white or light garage, black door, black shutters[/b].

The more unique touches in the neighborhood:
-Siding with dual tones (side vs. shingle siding in front)
-White with a tinge of light blue - same exact unique layout as ours, and I hate their choice.
-Gray, sometimes looks darker blue  [b]*this is our neighbor, so I don't think we can do this, too much in one part of the street*[/b]
-gray with a tinge of green (ugly original)
-gray
-brown with a tinge of green

Doors
-turquoise
-tan
-light blue
-3 with cream, which I think I love
-bold robins egg
-3 with red

Shutters
-turquoise
-red
-brownish gray or grayish brown
-7 with wood of various shades[/quote]

Op here. My comments and see highlight in bold:

Siding with dual tone I would only do with a designer. As I said above, this is siding on side is one thing; shingle siding on front is another. I love the look!
I can't do the gray that looks dark blue sometimes, because that is our neighbor. It's really pretty.

Some of the siding with dual tone combinations are:
gray and tan
gray and wood (shingle siding is wood)
grayish tan and dark gray
light tan and white
tan and brown
yellow and brown

Last note, I always love a red door; However.. I have been buying wreaths for a brown door (new house) and a navy door (old house) for several years...[/quote]
