Hello everyone,
A few years ago, we bought an older house in Croatia. Since then, we have almost completely renovated the interior. Now, at the latest by next spring, we plan to install external wall insulation and apply a new facade paint.
My question is: Which facade paint would you recommend? I’m not very imaginative when it comes to colors. We definitely don’t want plain white, as we find it quite boring. Personally, I like anthracite on houses.
The tree by the facade will be cut down soon.
On the first floor, the old wooden window will be replaced by a window four times larger, in white. New white uPVC windows have already been installed.
The roof was redone two years ago.
As a little inspiration, here is a picture of the house attached.
Many thanks in advance for your replies.

What do you think about the color "Cappuccino"?Both are too dark. Cappuccino is too dark; I have it inside myself. I would prefer something lighter like a milky coffee shade, which is the third option in #7. If you feel you don’t have much imagination with this, how about your wife? What does she like?
Otherwise, I wouldn’t make too much of a big deal out of it.
Before building, we drove around several residential areas with a borrowed color fan deck and looked at houses with matching colors, then chose the right color from the fan deck. You just have to make sure the houses have a similar roof color.
Alternatively, there are plenty of options to adapt a photo of your own house using an image editing program.

In the end, we found three earth tones that were very close to each other, and then the general contractor provided us with three sample patches of plaster on a test board. We held these up against the house wall and finally made our decision.
First of all, you need to know which plaster and which manufacturer you are using.
