Exterior color is a big decision, but a few steps make it much easier to get right the first time.
Start with what stays
Roofing, brick, stone and windows are not changing, so pick colors that work with them first.
Test large swatches
Paint two-foot samples on more than one side of the house and look at them in the morning and the evening.
Look at swatches in daylight on two walls before you decide.
Plan the trim and door
A calm body color with a stronger front door is an easy way to add character.
