I reall like the current colors and your red roof. I think you can change the house colors and not change the fence color. Here is one example that is in a tan family: With a white trim and dark brown shutters, I think it would work. Here is another example of a tan shade: I also like this light grey with white trim: Would you consider a green base: Then chose either a brown or red for the shutter.

Googled the karaka tone - consider resene ash - closest to a creamy white when you see it on the exterior. Depending on your house style, (more cottage like) I'd contrast the karaka green with a near white tone rather than a khaki tone. More modern, more khaki.

Hello Fellow Houzz community, I need help with making these curtains not seem so purple. The material is a white with a slight tinge of purple. You cant really tell if its a bright sunny day but on an overcast day it casts a purple tinge. Any ideas how I can lessen the purple look and bring out more of a white/grey color. Anyone know anything about color schemes? Lighting ideas? Thanks!

An old post , so sort of sorry to revive it ! The lighter shade looks a lot better , but something doesn't gel with me -- it looks like a beautiful Million Dollar house , let down by someone trying to save $10k . IF it was my place , the 2 things I would do is change ( or hide ) the round pillars , and the relatively cheap looking brickwork . I'd go for quality stonework in place of the brickwork , and carry the theme through to the pillars -- probably 'squaring' the pillars . In fact , I personally don't like the slightly strange 'extra' pillars -- I'd try to 'cut back' to 4 pillars , in a quality natural stone . Once I had done those 2 'improvements' , I'd sand back and restain a darker brown the entrance doors and surrounds -- that golden look screams 1980's IMO . I realise they tie in with the existing colours , but I'd want to get away from that look . Maybe I'm strange . . . . . . .
