On a two-story house, compare the upper siding with the lower facade, garage and roof as one composition. A consistent body can connect the floors, while a material boundary such as brick may already provide enough separation.

Compare Rosemary siding with Egret White trim while preserving roof, masonry, wood finishes. This provides muted green with a warm off-white outline for the shortlist.

Compare its color relative to both floors. A light door, a body-colored door and a preserved wood door each distribute attention differently.
