Picking the Right House Color

By LHP • June 23rd, 2010

Picking a color to paint your house can be a painstaking task, but there are some tricks that can help make that choice a little easier.

  • Steal other peoples color – Okay it is not really stealing but taking note of house colors you really like when driving around is a great idea.  If you see a house color that you love whip out your phone or camera and snap a picture.  Keep a file of these houses so you can go back and look at them.
    • To obtain the paint color of a house you love you can ask the owner if they know, or if you know which company built the house they should have that information handy.
  • Paint Company Suggestions – A good paint company should keep a record of what house paint color combination’s are the most popular and go together well.   You can look at pictures and examples to see if you like the colors.
  • Use Magazines – Look through magazines and if you like the color of a house you see in the magazine rip that picture out and hold on to it (this should go without saying, but if the magazine is not yours don’t rip any pages out. K?).
  • Ask Friends – Getting other opinions can open up other possibilities of color combos.  Be open to suggestions, but not to open because some people have terrible ideas.

Take your time and be confident in your choice.  A newly painted house will change the way you feel about pulling in the driveway.  You will love it!
