what other compliment lavender for painting the ouside of houses?
I would like to paint the outside of my house using lavender as one of the colors but I need another color to compliment it

Really!? I hope your home is mid-centrury retro style. if a newer home 1950′s and up that may look tacky (no offense). If you have a Victorian style home or 1930′s row… you can pull it off stylishly with all of the trim that you can paint a different accent color.
I think lavender with a creme trim would work, or lavender with a gray trim. I think you need to do some researching of color combinations and test on the back of your house somewhere to see what you think. I may seem like a great idea in your mind but things don’t always appear how they seem. Go to any paint store and get paint booklets for examples of exterior paint options. Home Depot, Lowes is a start.
Bottom line…. how do you want to appear in your neighborhood? The impression you want to give?

I think lavender with white trim or lavender with a darker purple would be nice.

Lavender is actually a gorgeous color for the exterior of a home!!
I would suggest a deep/darker plum color as an accent (for the shutters and door).
my neighbors house is painted like this:

(this isn’t a great picture, but the colors look way better in person!)
Good Luck!!!
