Choosing the Right Paint Colors

The most common error I see in choosing exterior house color is that the color is too light. The sun will wash out colors outside, so choosing a light color will end up looking like white. When choosing colors, keep in mind that they usually need to be more grey or brown than you think. For example, a grey with a tint of green in it will read more green than you usually think when painted on the entire house. If you choose a color and can say 'now that's green', you've probably choosen too 'green of a green'. The primary exception to this rule would be in more tropical locations such as Florida or other locations where a lighter more reflective color is desired to keep a house cool. Here pastel and brighter colors can work very well.

Select your colour scheme: First things you need to settle is to decide the colour scheme. The colour scheme does not have to be composed of a single primary color. If you want to ensure a fairly sight then you can always make use of various colors. The essential factor is to select a colour scheme that is made up of colours that are in harmony and do not tend to go over one another. Consult paint palettes and ask for skilled recommendation as your home's exterior paint colour scheme can both make and break your house remodeling objectives.
