The weathered gray color looks fine on most barns and a close match to that is Sherwin Willians Mountain Ash gray.
I like it the way it is.
I love the smell of esbit in the morning!
It's a barn, leave it red! Of course, you should paint a "See Rock City" sign on the roof!

I like the idea of weathered grey. You could also put a series of signs on the approach trail with one of the Burma-Shave ditties, culminating with Burma-Shave on the side of the barn!
Here's one, unfortunately never officially used, that refers to a place to stay/roost:
Listen birds / These signs cost / Money / So roost a while / But don't get funny / Burma-Shave

What is it with the "chew mail pouch" thing? As a postal carrier, I find that disturbing!!!
