Things to consider when painting exteriors If you like the current color of a wall, trim or accent, use it as a starting point and pick complementary colors. If you have a distinct style of home, research traditional color schemes. They can provide time-tested ideas for colors that work well. Use the color of your home s brick, siding, stone and roof to provide cues when selecting color. Pick colors that complement these features. Choose a color scheme that blends with the neighborhood. If you belong to a homeowners association, check to see if there are any color restrictions. Because colors may appear different depending on the time of day, paint a section of the house where wall, trim and accent colors can be viewed together. Then check them throughout the day to see how they look. To highlight architectural details, such as shutters and columns, choose a color that contrasts with the wall of the house. For example, if the wall of your house is a light color, choose a darker color. You can minimize attention to unattractive elements, such as downspouts, air conditioning units, vents and gutters, by painting them the same color as the wall of the house or by choosing a trim color that is a similar shade. Find inspiration in your own backyard. Touring your neighborhood is a great way to get ideas for colors that will work with your home. Each color combination in this card consists of four coordinated colors wall, trim and two accents. Their placement is shown in the legend below. Accent 1 Color that is similar to the wall and trim colors and accents architectural details, such as doors, shutters and columns. Accent 2 A color that contrasts nicely with wall and trim and boldly highlights architectural details, such as doors, shutters and wrought-iron railings. Trim Color for window and door trim, fascia (roof trim), garage doors and fences. Body The main color of your home. Alkali-Sensitive: Colors that are more likely to fade early when used on highly alkaline surfaces, such as new masonry. Interior Use Only: Colors with a low resistance to the sun s ultraviolet (UV) rays, causing them to fade. Low Hide: Colors that are more transparent and may require multiple coats. Historic: Colors that are historically accurate. COLOR CHIPS AND PAINT: These color chips are produced as accurately as possible; however, actual paint colors may vary from these samples and from batch to batch. Paint colors are affected by many factors, including lighting, age, type of finish, type of surface and adjacent colors. Some colors may require more than one coat for complete coverage. If final color appearance and color matches are critical, paint should be sampled on the actual surface before full application. Application of the paint constitutes acceptance of the color. Dunn-Edwards assumes no responsibility for color after application.
