 Create
instant appeal by choosing the right colors. One of the more important
rules of thumb - a home is part of the overall streetscape and your
neighborhood should be considered.
Choose colors that complement your
home's architectural details. Driveways, paving materials, and even
roofs are all important factors in your decision making. Color will
intensify with volume, so soft muted colors are ideal for the body of your
home. Indulge your Passion for color by painting a dramatic inviting
color on your front door. Use this as an accent to the overall color
scheme.
Putting a white trim on a house whose exterior is a neutral or
a rich color will provide a crisp fresh look. Use the darkest color to
pick out architectural elements. Remember, applying dark colors to the
upper half of a large structure will visually diminish its height.
For
an exterior palette, see our paint department for the Fresh Air brochure, a
collection of combined exterior colors that can be mixed or matched to your
satisfaction.
