Never liked this white horizontal stripe of soffit vert, visible above the back wing ridge; I had raised the dormer inside height from the 8′ design height to 9′, at the request of the client; this was the result. Had to see it every morning from my front yard.
Did this today – found a SW stock color close to the shingle color (Rock Bottom, I think), and just painted the 1×12 facia board satin.
Just disappeared! Doesn’t even really show from the back yard – reflective enough that you don’t really notice that the right hand soffit face is dark gray.
Plus, SW was having “contractor appreciation day” in the back, so I loaded up on free catfish and just SUPER hushpuppies
Forrest – happy with the small victories

Great solution!
That's great. Amazing how little difference you can see from the back.
Thanks! I showed the client this morning; was definitely a good PR move - she thought it was a great idea.

It is a perfect solution. Hide it in plain sight.
It took me me 5 minutes to figure out what was missing from the photo. That's a great job.
