The Best Way to Choose an Exterior Paint Color
To summarize:
Determine which paint finish makes the most sense for your project.
Create a palette based on the design elements of your home and surroundings.
Look at colors that will synch with your home’s architectural style, natural environment and neighborhood.
Consider the way natural light hits your home and how it will impact the paint color you choose.
Try On Exterior Colors with Samples
Sampling paint colors before you buy is important to build confidence in your final color selection. Use our brush-on 8 oz. paint color samples as follows:
- Paint your color selections onto a white foam board.
- Bring the board outside.
- Observe the color throughout the day, taking into consideration the effects of shadows and sun on the color.
Please note: Our brush-on samples are formulated for interior use only; we don’t recommend brushing paint samples directly onto your exterior.
