How to Choose An Exterior Paint Color Scheme
Posted on June 7, 2022
Choosing an exterior paint color scheme can be a stressful decision. From your main color to trim and shutters, you want to make sure that each color complements one another. Here at CertaPro Painters® of North Vancouver, we understand how different colors can work together to create a stunning home exterior. Below are a few of our professional tips for choosing a new paint color scheme for your home exterior.
Think About the Architectural Style of Your Home
One of the first things to consider when choosing exterior paint colors is the style of your home. For example, a Historic home is often renovated with colors that match that specific time period, while a modern new build may have a more dramatic mix like black on white with wood accents. If you are unsure what paint colors fit the overall design of your home, our painting contractors are here to help. We provide each of our clients with a free color consultation. At your color consultation appointment, a member of our design team can recommend different exterior paint colors for your North Vancouver home.
Give Your Favorite Paint Colors a Test Run
One of the most anxiety inducing parts of updating your exterior paint color is wondering if you will like the end result. Thankfully, there is a simple way to do a test run by using paint color samples. You can use poster boards with your paint color selections to see how each one looks outside during different times of day. Most paint colors have unique undertones that can come out in different lighting conditions. Once you have completed your test run, you will have a better idea of what you think would look best on the exterior of your home.
Know What Colors Are Popular in Your Neighborhood
It can also be a good idea to pay attention to the color schemes that are currently in your neighborhood. This can help you generate ideas or maybe even notice a few colors you don’t want. If you live in an HOA regulated community, you may even have a specific set of paint colors that you can choose from.
