Which color combinations are best suitable for exterior walls?

 
Untitled Page
When you plan your exterior paint job, look at the environment in which your color will appear. Its appearance is affected by the appearance of neighboring homes, and even the color of shrubs and trees around it. However, the process of selecting a color scheme for your home is a personal matter. The following are some of the color choices:
  • White and off-whites have been the top color choice for home exteriors.
  • Earth tone browns, tans, and beiges have always been popular, and they remain so today. For example, earth tones are always a good choice in natural, wooden areas, but they may not be the best choice in other settings.
  • For red brick homes, try a glossy black or mossy green color.
  • If you like a bright yellow or blue color, consider selecting a color in a slightly mute tone.
  • Notes:
  • The exterior of a home made with different materials (brick and wood) can look attractive together if same color painting is used on the entire house.
  • Once you have selected a color, check your choice in daylight both sunlight and shade – as it may look differently.
