pick colors for my shed

[mpc]

If you need something to do this afternoon, you can go play on this site cfsteelbuildings.com/custom-steel-buildings/ and help me pick out what colors to do on our shed. I can pick roof, side, and trim colors. Need to decide this week.

We are in florida (lots of sun), so my H would prefer a light color roof, but it's negotiable. He likes green or red for the sides.... which I do not really care for at all.


Here is a photo to show what the backyard looks like. The shed will actually be further right than you can see in this photo. It'll be past the grass, more in the wooded area. But not back into the woods, ie it won't be hidden behind trees, just kind of back in them.

What color is your house?

it's a blueish grey.  Hold on I can go find a pic.

ETA old picture, but shows the color

Your house is beautiful! Personally I would want the shed to sort of blend in rather than stand out so I wouldn't go with a color as bright as the green or red. I'd probably go with one of the grays or the clay color.

I'd stick with white, gray, and charcoal based on your house color.

I’d do something like arctic white with white trim and gray roof. Do NOT let your H do green or red. Holy hell, no.

So this is how it went.

H: Did you look at the link with the color choices?
mpc: Really quickly. I didn't have time to make a choice except to say definitely not green or red.
H: *silence*
mpc: No...
H: those were my two top choices. Green will blend in with the trees! Red looks like a barn!

He wasn't even joking... lol

I get what he’s thinking with the green, and if it was going in the middle of the trees (and not at all visible from the road), MAYBE I’d agree to it.

I’d just choose whatever color coordinates best with your home.

I would stick with pearl grey and white.
