<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: White Is the Preferred Color
A white or off-white paint gives a nice finished look to your house. The light-colored paint lets the wood siding stand out without giving your home a rustic appearance. Use a glossy trim paint to make the painted wood and trim shine.
On the Other: Perhaps a Darker Color
For a quaint cabin-like appearance, paint the trim, doors and windows with a deep color, such as a reddish brown or dark gray. You can even use one of the exterior stains that acts a lot like a coat of paint to cover the wood trim.This emphasizes the woody nature of your exterior for a charming, country look.
Bottom Line
Light-colored painted on the trim, doors and windows will give your house a professional looking finish that will be admired by all. Though a darker, wood color in the woodwork will satisfy many homeowners, balancing a wood siding with a glossy, light-colored paint is probably the preferred final finish.
