benjamin moore has apps etc to suggest paint colors.  

most have it. 

if u take a pic of your house, then upload, a color will be suggested. 

when i think of a 70's rancher, i think of dark green. 

what is your house made of? do u have a mix of stone, brick, siding?

what material are u painting? 

our house has a mix of stone, brick and asbestos siding.  we have painted the siding twice.  

so difficult finding a color to blend red brick and pennsylvania blue stone.  ugh!  we went with BM revere pewter.

@hkrgrl , it's a very plain all wood siding home. If I had other materials to consider, that would make it so much more difficult.

if you can post a pic here, that would be helpful.  its nice to see the surrounding area - a lot trees, open space etc..

if u get a lot of sun, i would go light colored. 

what color speaks to you.  are u an earth toned person, cool toned? 

what do u want to home to convey? 

how do u want to feel when u see it?  

i personally love a green/brown color  or a green/grey color

SW  evergreen fog

SW  frosted fern

SW  taiga

@Carolina925 I just read an interesting article about outdoor paint colors, and it gives good examples and photos for anyone painting!

It is called: 12 Classic Southern Paint Colors and the Stories Behind Them

It is a Southern Living article and very interesting even if you aren't painting!
