Hello everyone - I have a 90-year old cottage that was remodeled my house 8 years ago, but we didn't have the roof replaced at that time. The contractor replaced the gutters & down spouts with quality aluminum, i.e. expensive. The only problem is that they are Robin egg blue, long story, but not my choice.

I'm in the process of replacing my roof/soffits/fascia and also need to redo the (wood) window sashes/exterior doors and then repaint the whole house. Anyone have a thought what colours to use? I was thinking dark gray slate for the roof. The color of the house will most likely be white. But what to do with the soffits and window sashes? Gray to match the roof or blue to match the down spouts?

Or do I just repaint the down spouts to match either the windows or the soffits?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
