From amidst the 1000 colors available, I've selected a color that's (1) close enough to my house color, and (2) compatible with white, which is what I've decided on for trim, so it will match white roof somewhat harmoniously (I'm hoping for synergistic). Resulting color light yellow beige color has just a bit more pop compared to house color, so it doesn't become bleak looking next to white.
Resulting color choice is named Lyndhurst Estate Cream. (Other choices included things with Woodrow Wilson or Churchill in the name, glad I didn't have to choose those.)
So what is Lyndhurst? Originally built by the 1826 Mayor of New York City, one of the occupants was the infamous railroad robber baron Jay Gould, in fact he was the one who changed the name from Lyndenhurst (after the nearby Lynden trees) to Lyndhurst. Now, it's a museum open to the public (it was donated by Gould's daughter).
The designer, Alexander Jackson Davis was one of the most influential architects of the 19th century, mainly associated with the Gothic Revival style.
