Blues continue to remain popular so one idea is to choose one of the blues as a core accent color, surrounded by grays, creams, the newer beiges for a classic appeal. Deep charcoal can also be added for the trim as additional depth to the palette. Another color palette idea is to go bold with a deeper hue such as a dark green for larger points on the body of the building, then highlight with accents of neutrals and tinted whites.
