Of the two you mention I prefer gray. Both colors seem wrong for your environment.

That's what Im wondering too?! What colour would you choose for the environment?

I understand going with the grey since it is an 80's style house. You could also do bright bold colors. I do not know if that is your style.

I have attached a quick rendering of the gray scheme you mentioned. I prefer light colors above dark colors. This keeps in theme with the sky and earth. Makes the house seem more grounded. The dark entry also draws your eye to it especially with the light coming from the other side of the house.

I have also attached a quick rendering of a blue scheme. It looks like you are on a beach and I thought this would blend in with the surroundings. If that is what you are seeking.

Hope this helps.

If you must have a dark color I prefer something Earthy. This is SW Plantation Shutters.SW Nuthatch for trim but most people like more contrast.

I think of these as island colors.

All colors I mention are Sherwin Williams as I was on their website. I think some potted plants would be nice on that side of the house.

Dark exteriors are very ontrend right now! How does Navy blue with crisp white trim work for you?

For color reference only not style
