How to Choose an Exterior Color in Orlando
Posted on June 17, 2021
A choice of exterior color in Orlando can make or break your curb appeal. For this reason, many homeowners are overwhelmed by the colors available. A proper choice can even add up to 5% value to your home. So how do you choose the best option for you? Let’s start with the most popular choices.
Most Common Exterior Color in Orlando
By and large,the most chosen colors for exteriors in our neighborhoods are light taupe and gray. Does that mean these colors should be chosen in every case? No.
To start your search, begin by driving through neighborhoods similar to yours in style and age. Take note of any colors on homes that appeal to you. Do not choose a color based on what everyone else is picking, or what you saw. This is just to give you part of the color wheel to get started.
Style of color makes a difference too. If more muted and pastel colors draw your eye, maybe it’s for you. Conversely, if you are drawn to deep, dark or vivid colors, maybe that’s your style. Just remember, the hot and humid weather in Florida can wreak havoc on colors with dark pigments. The sun leaches colors very quickly. That doesn’t mean these options are out, just know the maintenance will be more demanding.
