This would make the decorative squares stand out a little without screaming too loudly. The same colors would work well on Laurie’s exterior - using Sweet Potato for the trim and soffits and Copper Haze on the six squares on the porch columns. My color suggestion reminded Pam of a house color scheme she profiled back in 2009, painted with a combination of Copper Haze and Sweet Potato.
