How to decide what color to paint your exterior of your house can be a tricky task. There are a lot of variables that can go into this decision. Part one blog talked about three things that are good to keep in mind. Here are three more things to think about when looking for a new exterior paint color: Decide the color to paint your exterior
Consider Other Elements of the House
When deciding on the color of the exterior of your house, make sure you also consider other elements of your home other than just the siding. You want to make sure whatever color you choose will go well with your roof as an example. Also, if you have other elements you are not planning on painting, like brick, you want to take these elements and their colors into consideration. Other things you want to make sure you keep in mind when choosing a house color include landscaping, door color, how much light your house gets, and more. When choosing a color, look at more than just what you are painting, but look at the house and property as a whole.
Understand Undertones
Colors have certain undertones and it can be important to understand what different undertones are because they might affect your color selection. Most colors are made of more than one color mixed together to get a specific shade. There are colors that you do not see right away when looking at the paint but go into the process of creating the color. These colors are called undertones. Undertones are not always obvious but are an important part of colors. Do your research on undertones so you fully understand the color(s) you choose for your home.
Be Open to New Colors
It is always good to be open to new things, and this includes being open to new colors for your house’s exterior. Be open to trying out new colors or color schemes. You may surprise yourself and end up liking something you did think you would. It can be exciting to explore new colors and to learn something new about yourself and what you like. And if you do not like any of the new colors you try out, that is okay too. It is just good to try out new things from time to time.
Your house and its exterior are important so you want to make sure you are thorough with your decision of what color to go with.
