Consider
your home's size and style.
Small, simple homes look better
with fewer paint colors. Larger,
more ornate ones can handle
a main color plus a few accents.
Consider
your home's orientation to the
sun and shade. Colors
look brighter under the glare
of sun and darker in the shade.
Pick out a color based on the
amount of sunshine your home
gets for a good part of the
day.
Remember
the roof. How will
the color you're considering
coordinate with it? Do the same
with railings, painted doors,
storm doors, brick accents,
mortar, landscaping and other
existing features.
Get
help from your city's historic
preservation planners.
Period homes might have to wear
age-appropriate colors if they're
in neighborhoods designated
as historic districts. But even
folks whose older homes are
outside those boundaries can
get advice from historic-preservation
experts.
Take
into account the colors of neighboring
homes. Colors that
are radically different from
theirs - or too similar - will
detract from your home's curbside
appeal.
Remember
that dark colors will make your
house look smaller.
And vice versa.
Choose
a prepackaged color scheme.
Many paint manufacturers now
offer advice on aesthetically
pleasing and historically accurate
palettes for exteriors (as well
as interiors.) The Sherwin-Williams
"Preservation Palette"
color system features combinations
from four time periods: Classic
& Colonial (1700s), Victorian
(mid-1800s), Arts & Crafts
(1910s and `20s) and Suburban
Modern (1950s and `60s). Each
time period features three palettes;
each palette contains wall,
accent and trim colors. One
of the Suburban Modern schemes,
for example, combines Harvest
Gold, Avocado and Super White.
Information is available at
your local Sherwin-Williams
dealer.
Consider
staining instead of painting.
Stains, which let wood textures
shine through, are appropriate
for wood siding, shingles, decks,
fences and floors. Stains come
in a variety of traditional
and unusual tones.
Note
who, where and when.
When collecting paint samples,
write the name of the paint
manufacturer, the name of the
store and the date on the back
of the card if that information
is not already there. That way,
you'll know where to buy the
paint when you eventually select
a color.
Look
at your paint chips outside
and at different times of day.
Lighting makes a big difference
in how the color will appear
on your house. Direct sunlight,
however, may distort colors. |
