Feeling overwhelmed with all the decisions you need to make for your exterior project?
Whether you are building your dream home or remodeling your existing exterior, one misguided choice can easily turn into a cascade of wrong decisions.
You need to know which decisions come first AND which elements are worth investing in so you can create a classic and timeless exterior you’ll love forever.
I understand how overwhelming these decisions can be, which is why I condensed my 25 years of experience into a collection of indispensable, no-nonsense video lessons you can watch over and over again.
And let’s be real, you don’t want to mess this up.
Your builder or client is counting on you to make the right choices, and you don’t want to be the reason for an expensive mistake (while the neighbors watch).
Every time you think you’ve got it figured out, another question pops up and you’re back to square one.
Here’s the thing, when it comes to exteriors, there are only a few colour options that will work well with the fixed elements you’re dealing with.
In this Exterior Colour Selection Masterclass you’ll learn how to quickly narrow down your options and confidently make the right choices – without feeling paralyzed by indecision or the fear of expensive mistakes.
And not only that, you’ll know how to explain WHY your choices are the right ones. No more losing sleep over endless options and colours.
This course is the most direct route to nailing your exterior project with my colour expert guidance so you can feel confident and excited about your exterior project.
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s do this!
Make The Right Decision
Every Choice is a Colour Decision
Whether you’re building a new home or improving your existing one, exterior design decisions are daunting. Did you know that every selection for your exterior is a COLOUR decision first? And that no one selection is independent of any other colour or finish, newly chosen or existing, on your home?
This means you need to understand how to coordinate colour, AND know which elements should be considered FIRST to get it right. It also means that one less-than-optimal selection can undermine the entire look of your home’s exterior – and lead to a less-than-pretty outcome. It’s easy to spot these exterior mistakes in any neighbourhood.
Keep It Simple
Narrow Down Your Choices
The most valuable lesson you’ll gain from this online training is how to narrow down your choices to a select and optimal few. This will empower you to make THE RIGHT selections for your exterior, and eliminate the fear of making an expensive mistake.

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:
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.
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
I need help choosing my exterior colours, should I buy your Exterior masterclass? Or one of your eDesign packages?
This course has been created for the design professional or the do-it-yourselfer. If you have a pretty straightforward exterior, you can confidently get the answer from doing the masterclass with little or no design experience.
And, if you are design-savvy already, the masterclass can help you confidently choose colour for a more complicated exterior.
If you have no design experience and your exterior looks like a difficult project to get right, we recommend trying our edesign packages so that you also get the answer to “why these colour choices are correct” because the advice will be specific to YOUR home.
This course will give you the full scope of what you need to know and consider to successfully choose colour for any exterior.
And, if you still need help and reassurance in choosing colours after you purchase this masterclass, we can give you a coupon for $100 to be applied towards an exterior eDesign package.
I am a complete novice when it comes to choosing colour, will this course really be all I need to get my exterior colours right?
Most of the time, the novice simply doesn’t know where to begin and which factors to take into consideration. This masterclass will walk you through where to START. And once you know where to begin, you can also learn how to apply the Killam Colour System to your exterior.
Plus, a cheatsheet of the BEST exterior paint colours for Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams in each undertone category is included! This will help you quickly narrow down your options to the perfect colour palette.
And if you still need further reassurance you are on the right track, after you purchase this masterclass, we can give you a coupon for $100 to be applied towards an exterior eDesign package so Maria can review your selections.
What if my house is the exception to the rules? What if this advice does not apply to my specific house?
Honestly, in my experience, it is most likely that your house is NOT the exception to the universal principles of good exterior colour covered in this Masterclass.
And even if you do want to break the rules, it’s important that you know them well enough first so you can do so with awareness. Otherwise, you will be experimenting blind and the results are not likely to be pretty.
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.
What if I’m under time constraints and need to make my selections ASAP? Will I have time to absorb the information in this class?
The course is divided into convenient modules so you can watch the module you need immediately. However, it’s BEST to view the entire set of video lessons in the correct order, which you can do in a couple of sittings if you are pressed for time.
Remember, you can easily go back and quickly watch any module topic you need immediate clarity on.
We are working with a builder that offers limited options, or an HOA with restrictions on the colours and claddings we can use. Will the suggestions in this course still be useful?
When you are working with a builder, or need to present your selections to a board or HOA, it’s best to have well thought out and coordinated colours and selections that are difficult to argue with.
And once you have finished the Masterclass, you will have more conviction that your choices are right. This means you’ll be less susceptible to being influenced in other directions, which is a common challenge homeowners face.
