Default paint color

I need to touch up some of the outdoor areas on my house. I'm located in the Belle Aire section-Villa Valdosta-what color grey should I use?

We just moved into a pre-owned that had been repainted and I hope the previous owner did it because is was so crappy and he left no paint codes. We cut a 1+" square area from behind the bed and took it to HD and got paint that matched it.

Do you have any paperwork in your home showing the paint codes used? If you have a smartphone whose camera shows great clarity, you might take a close up pic of it and see if it can be matched; it would be hard to cut a sample off the exterior.

I think you can call home warranty and get to the original paint codes and colors.

I was in Sherwin Williams yesterday when they called Home Warranty to find out a paint color for another customer.

We have owned two pre-owned homes.
The Villages Warranty Department has an amazing amount of information on original paint colors, windows, garage door openers, etc. They are VERY helpful.
