I need to apply Koolseal or some other product to my rolled metal roof. Then I need to paint the white wood trim shown in the photo below. Then I need to add a white seamless aluminum rain gutter. I'm trying to figure out how to do this so I don't get three different shades of white. Should I just start with the white color of the heat resistant roof paint, and then match it to the paint I use to paint the wood trim? What have you guys done in the past?

Thanks!

I honestly think you are overthinking this. In the end all the eye will see white, not 3 different colors. Now it the roof were 2 different shades of white or the gutters were then it would stick out like a sore thumb.

I agree with Greg here, no one is going to notice if the gutters and roof are different whites. Plus overtime they are all going to weather/fade at different rates since they will be different materials so even if you match them all to start they won't stay matched.
