Moody blues
There are a variety of blue shades that work equally well for your home elevation. For a bold no-nonsense look, navy blue paired with white is just the thing you are looking for. Depending on the elevation of your structure, you can section an area for your navy blue shade and paint the rest of the area white. If you have a lot of off-sets in your structure, you can use those to play around with this interesting color combination. Front elevation colors are the best way to reflect your personality.
