House Paint Color selection Tips

By Newswire

The key to choosing the right color for your home is to understand how colors work together before you take a trip to the paint store.

Because colors are hues of yellow, orange and red the hues you choose should have various amounts of yellow vs orange vs red in them.

Try to find a paint shade with several shades lighter or darker than it, rather than similar shades

Another Tip

Is to select a lighter color for all exterior trim because it makes the house appear larger from afar. On the other hand dark colors will make the house appear smaller.

You may also want to consider that lighter colors tend to show dirt more often than darker hues do.

If you choose a bright red color for your house, avoid bright oranges or yellows as trim, so the look doesn’t become to “busy”
