I'm putting this question out to all of my painting friends. Do you think you can assign paint colors to this house? If you can find these color from the Benjamin Moore palette, all the better!

yellow - maybe something between sunburst & sunbeam?
green - something between douglas fir & tequila lime, or margarita.
trim - copper clay? mars red?
ymmv, monitor settings etc.
I think the red is less orange than copper clay. (one of my favorite b.moore reds!)
If you are considering house paint colors, for perhaps, your own desired future house, I myself would do a bit of research with American Heritage Brand of colors, sold at Lowes. It is where we went to pick the colors for our own house when we decided to paint it according to the colors of the time. Its where they get the colors for Monticello and the white house, as well as all the homes built by the Hearst family.
Of course, some colors we did find in this house (painted in lead paint, of course!) were very odd. The wood trim of doors and windows in the kitchen were a weird matte pale pink and a glossy black, and the walls were a combination of straw/plaster and hand blocked wallpaper. If I were you, I would end up looking at other houses whose colors you admire, and absolutely do NOT over think it, becuase then you will never make a decision. Think what colors may look good to you at Xmas, with lights on the house, since our first year was a delight as we played "dress up" with the house for our first holidays!

My hubby bought a book which I think was called Bungalow Colors. It had many different combos for painting the exterior of your bungalow! We used this book, and others when picking out colors for our house, but ended up being trapped by the vinyl siding colors instead :-(
"Green", "Yellowish", and "A sort of Brown".
Hope that helps!
