Color trends fascinate me.
I’m drawn to expressive, bold color and soft, gentle hues. There is a perfect time, place, and reason for every color in the universe.
And that’s the exact reason why an afternoon can quickly be swept away while standing in the paint department of any home center. There are so many good choices.
So how do you narrow it down to the perfect choice for you, right now, for the project on your to-do list?
Well, if it’s an exterior color choice that’s haunting you, and even if it’s not, there’s a free color guide that can help.
And when your internal color-choosing compass is letting you down, it’s a smart idea to trust the experts and the history of color combinations.
Our friend Kate Smith has written this color guide as a graphic way to combine colors, based on your home style. She also worked in product information from companies that specialize in roofs, doors, windows, and trim. And if you don’t know your home style, she has an image of each typical house type in the guide.
For each color quandary, she starts with the roof, then goes to the house color, trim, door and windows.
And there are interesting color tidbits like what the color of your front door says about you. Our door is blue, which means we have an easy go-with-the-flow personality and people flock to us. I like that mojo, and it reflects our way of telling friends to just: “Come on in. No need to knock.”
So if you need help deciding, need a step-by-step system to choosing color, or just want to confirm what you think might be perfect, head over for the free guide. It’s just a click away. And, there’s no need to knock.
