Key Facts About Exterior Colour

Exterior colours get 2-3 times lighter and brighter (washed out).

This means the world of white and cream can be expanded to include pale shades of green beige and green grey. White belongs with pale and clean colours, such as greys and blacks. Cream belongs with earth tones, such as beige and brown.

The 3 biggest mistakes people make with exterior colour:

1

Combining clean and dirty colours or getting the neutral undertones wrong

If you choose a blue for your house and it is too clean it will scream ‘crazy person’ lives here. Your neighbors will be cranky about the house on the street that sticks out like a neon sign.

2

Constantly worrying that their house will look boring

It’s common to worry that you need to create all kinds of “interest” on your exterior to increase the curb appeal. The problem is, if you throw a mix of interesting finishes and colours onto your house, it will just look disjointed, like you couldn’t make up your mind. For a classic and timeless look, less is more. Learn which elements really are worth investing in to make your house look it’s best.

3

There’s too much or not enough contrast with trim

If the trim is too stark, it will be jarring to look at and will likely cheapen the look of your exterior.

If the trim doesn’t provide sufficient contrast, or is too yellowed, it will look dirty and drab. Learn my best tips for getting this tricky, but critical part, of choosing exterior colour right every time.

Choosing classic and timeless colours and finishes is key to a house you’ll love for years to come.
