Color Theory and Exterior Paint
We have all seen that house on the block that stands out for one reason or another. Sometimes the house stands out because it is the only pink house in a neighborhood filled with muted blue and grey homes. There are also homes that are picturesque that stand out because the contrast from the white siding, to the red door, and black window frames are so aesthetically pleasing that we feel at home just driving by. In order to maximize the value of your largest asset, it is important to freshen up the exterior paint every few years. Sometimes a bold change may be in order, and other times a fresh coat of paint is all that is needed. Regardless of the reasoning, the professionals at University Painters are seasoned experts when it comes to all things about painting, and can not only provide the award winning paint job you are looking for, but make sure that you find the color scheme you desire.
With spring right around the corner, it is almost prime painting season. The season, the style of home, personal preference, and frame of mind all come into choosing the paint color for your home. The most common colors chosen for exterior home painting are grey, black, and white. These neutral colors tend to blend into any neighborhood, and match any style of home. If you want to utilize your home’s design and help it to stand out, bolder color options are always available.
Choosing a bold color to go with a neutral base can bring out all the beautiful details that are designed into your home, as well as show off a little bit of your personality. Purple, a color that is known to represent nobility, can be the perfect accent to a white home. Grey and white, combined with a little yellow have been known to add a subtle sophistication to a home. A bold red used as the main color of the house, accented by white and black trim and window panels can stand out in a manner that shows strength and confidence. For a calm, peaceful, and serene vibe, a mild green is a perfect color.
