Watch as BHG shares tips on choosing exterior paint colors. First, consider the aspects of your home that paint can't change -- the roof color, stone, brick or accent work. Get inspiration from your neighborhood -- note color combinations that you really like. Consider the style of your house -- whether it's a craftsman home or a classic farmhouse style. A three-color scheme for the trim, body, and shutters is the standard for most homes. To emphasize decorative features of your home, choose a color that contrasts with the surrounding house color. For a more subtle look, pick a door color that blends in. Check out color combinations suggested by paint manufacturers. When you've narrowed your color choices down, invest in a few quarts and test the colors in a few spots. Be sure to look at the paint color during different times of the day to understand how light changes the color. Follow these tips to help you choose the right exterior paint color for your home!
