If you have an exterior painting project in the works, one of the first decisions you must make is choosing a color for your house. Should you go for more of the same or try something new? Should you be bold or conservative? To help you decide, BRS Custom Painting, an interior and exterior painting contractor in Wentzville, MO, offers some recommendations below. This list should give you some ideas to consider and help you make the right selection.

What Color Should You Choose for Your Exterior Painting Project?

Green

Green is a vibrant color that helps your home blend into its natural surroundings. It's ideal for homes with a small lawn and lots of trees. Forest, emerald, and shamrock greens are bright and attractive, while olive and pea greens are a good choice if you prefer a more subdued shade.

White

White, eggshell, and other off-white shades help your home look clean, bright, and striking, especially if you pair it with a lively trim color. Another benefit is that it helps a small house appear larger. White also makes a terrific canvas on which to showcase a bright flower bed or colorful blooming planters.

Blue

Blue is a tasteful choice if you want to attract some attention to your home without being too showy. It naturally draws the eye, but blue is a cool and calming color. It's ideal if you have a lot of open space around the house and, depending on the shade, could pick up highlights from the sky.

Brown

Brown is an earthy and rustic color that's ideal for homes on wooded lots. Dark brown may be too rugged if you must comply with homeowners’ association rules, but a light brown or beige could offer a color all parties can agree on.
