The first thing you should know is that choosing a color at a paint store isn’t a good way to accurately decide which color would be best for your home. Colors can appear to be much different on a color wheel than they are under natural lighting or on a greater surface area. Some colors may look great on a color chip, but after the painting process the color may end up looking different than you had intended.

When going to choose a color, pick your two favorite colors and get samples to paint on various parts of your home exterior to get an accurate feel of what will actually look good.

One of the best ways to determine which colors you like best is to look at houses around your neighborhood. Feel free to approach neighbors or homeowners to ask what color they used. Knowing what colors they used will give you an accurate representation of what your home will look like after the paint job.

A quick trick for completing the good first impression of your home is to paint your front door with a nice accent color. The best way to go with a color scheme that is complimentary with your flowers. Pick a great contrast color that will complete the look of your entrance.
