Bringing color to the exterior of your house can have a tremendous effect on your home's value and curb appeal. 

Things to keep in mind:

1. Coordinate paint colors with existing features of you home such as your roof and any brick or stone accents you may have.
2. Look for colors that harmonize with your surrounding landscape and neighborhood. Or use any of our color palette collections to find combinations appropriate for the architecture of you home.
3. Add splashes of color by highlighting details such as doors, shutters, and architectural elements. Keep in mind light colors can add size, while dark color can inject drama.
