The exterior color palette is the biggest factor in transforming your home’s appearance and making it look fantastic. At Those Painting Guys, we have decades of experience.

If you think your home needs a makeover, here are a few tips to help you choose the right color palette:
Use Your Home’s Exterior Elements to Inspire Your Exterior Color Palette
Take the colors of fixed exterior elements like your roof, stonework, driveway, and pathways into consideration when planning your color scheme. Look at their undertones and determine if the colors are warm or cool, and use that to inform your color palette.
Plan Around Your Home’s Architectural Design
Your exterior color palette needs to complement your home’s design. We recommend driving through your neighborhood and observing the paint chosen for homes with similar styles as yours. While you don’t want to replicate your neighbors’ designs, you can use them for inspiration on which shades of exterior painting would work for your home’s style.
Use Three or More Different Shades
There are three parts to your home’s exterior color palette: the trim color, the dominant field color, and the accent color. You can use bold accent colors as long as they work with your field color. The trim color needs to strongly contrast with the field color. Lighter field colors look great with dark trim, for instance.
