I have white with black shutters too, but my roof has blue in it. I was going to go light beige and even got the paint, but my next door neighbor painted his that color, so I am going to cut mine with white paint to make it a shade or two lighter, and then inky blue shutters.

I like pink flowers, but my house is in the shade of a huge elm tree, so I will take whatever blooms.
