Here's a great manufacturer of authentic colors for that time period! - Old Village Paints - http://old-village.com





They were featured on the history channel, and they have several examples of famous buildings that have used their paints when restoring. Here's a blurb from their site -





';OLD VILLAGE PAINTS capture the charm and character of Colonial, Federal and Victorian periods. Perfect for furniture, walls, decorative accents, interior and exterior woodwork.';





If you want something dramatic, use their Rittenhouse Red; If you want something more subtle - Rittenhouse Green - http://old-village.com/paint_profiles/ov鈥?/a>





A beautiful combination would be the Society Hill Blue and the Philadelphia Brownstone . ..

Benjamin Moore: Richmond bisque shutters with classic burgundy or heritage red for the door.
How about sagey green shutters and a blue-green door, or vise versa. Or how about barn red shutters with a black or brown door.
