"For a traditional American home, try a deep green or baby blue on the shutters and a high-gloss dark red on the front door. Paint all other solid doors to match the shutters. Have French doors and trim matched with an opaque sample of the whitewash. The combination is light and fresh with high contrast and punch." –Charles Heydt, Pak Heydt and Associates , Atlanta, Georgia

Taking cues from Mother Nature's favorite neutral (and to best complement the flower-filled yard), architect Sam Greeson suggests siding a bold green and the shutters a deeper, nearly black green. Then he recommends using crisp white paint to highlight the trim and exterior details.
