The yellow isn't obnoxious, it's the "yellow almost cream" kind of yellow. The roofing is deep gray/blue.
Many thanks as always!

White or the matching blue from the roof.

I like black with a yellow house...but the gray from the roof or maybe a darker shade of that gray would be nice, too.

What about a really dark blackish-blue color? I think black is pretty standard, but I saw a house not too long ago with a really deep midnight blue-almost black shutters and it was really pretty.

I've seen blue on yellow and it's pretty! Honestly you could probably do a lot of colors. A light wine/mulberry color would probably look nice. Any jewel tone would probably be nice. Depending on the trim and such, white may work.

We have white shutters. If you don't want white, the idea of matching the roof would look nice as well.

White. My most favorite house I ever lived in was in college-a tiny little OLD house that was that kind of yellow with white shutters.

I would stay in the blue/gray family to complement the roof. You don't need to necessarily match, but if you go darker or lighter it should compliment the roof instead of competing.

The trim is white, if that matters. I've been looking up your ideas, I don't think I've ever seen white shutters IRL, I'm going to have to watch when I'm out and about.
I'm thinking of painting the front door a jewel color, so I'm wondering if it would be too much with jewel colored shutters?
I hate making these kind of decisions!!

I love that color yellow and I'd probably do white shutters--so crisp and clean.

We had a house in our old neighborhood that was yellow with slate blue shutters and door. It was quite charming.

I like the dark gray (the gray or the roof)for shutters, white if your yellow is strong enough for the white to stand out a bit.

We had a blue that was almost periwinkle on a light yellow house. It looked cute.

Definitely white! I love the look of a creamy yellow house with crisp white trim.

My first thought was white, but I do think blue would look awesome and stand out against your white trim.

Yellow with white trim and shutters, and a blue door, if you like.

I have a yellow house with white shutters and white trim & front door. We just bought it back in April, and it's on the list to paint it when we redo the roof in a few years. I don't hate the color combo, but I think I like more contrast. I don't think we will keep the yellow long term, but for now, since we are probably 3 or so years out from replacing the roof, I am contemplating painting the front door something bright like a robin's egg blue and keeping the shutters white or possibly painting them black. I also like some shades of green, but it's tricky to find a good match with the yellow, so that may be more trouble than it's worth for just a few years. Again, I never would have chosen yellow, but the house is a Dutch colonial, so it fits the style.

My first thought was white, but after looking at that link with all the pictures.... I say paint the door red and the shutters a dark charcoal grey or blue to compliment the roof.

Thanks everyone for your input! I really want to see a yellow house with white shutters now since so many of you like it! Thanks for the link eebud, I'm looking through all that now.

My house is that shade of yellow and we have the slate blue trim/shutters/door. I like it, but I like the idea of white too.

I like black shutters on a yellow house, with white trim.
