Hello everyone,
I’ve been struggling for months with the question of how to color our old farmhouse. My image searches haven’t really helped. Our roof is covered with natural red clay tiles. We also want wooden windows and have an old front door that we plan to refresh. I’ve considered painting the front door in a different color than the windows. Does anyone have ideas, pictures, etc., on how to create a harmonious color scheme for the house (roof, windows, door, facade)? I definitely don’t want a white or gray house, and the colors should naturally suit the old building (so no bright or flashy tones).
I’m grateful for any advice. Oh, and I just noticed… window sills come in many different colors.
Thanks to everyone!

PS: The sides not visible in the picture have all been modified, terrible extensions, windows bricked up. A complete mess... All the more important to see the entire situation. Here among pastor’s daughters, we can speak openly (and we must, as premature assessments could only lead to incorrect treatments).

I need to dig into this! But is there anything left on the clay? Parts of the walls have already been rebuilt with bricks because the gables must have collapsed at some point (inside, a genius removed several beams he considered unimportant :rolleyes 🙂. On the backside, there is only bare clay without any plaster. It sounds like a miracle that the house is still standing. Clearly, some skilled people have worked on it.
Timber framing is often seen combined with white plaster. I can think of two half-ruined houses nearby that have blue plaster in the infill panels.
During demolition, at least three shades of green appeared. Timber framing with clay plaster, then built over, insulated with polystyrene, and so on.
You might have a good chance. Are there any house ruins around that have been empty for so long that the plaster from the former East Germany era has weathered away?
I would first clarify the basics of the restoration before deciding on which plaster to use.

Visible original old timber framing is definitely impressive – though it's an expensive solution.
I really like greenery; it’s a pity the vine is gone.
I can also imagine a classic yellowish tone quite well.
With the facade, you can also play with the color of the shutters on a restrained facade to create a great visual effect.
I checked and only found metallic paints.
