September 27, 2021
When it comes to the exterior of your community, the color you choose for your paint can make a big impact on its overall appearance. The right color can enhance your community's curb appeal and even increase its value. However, choosing the perfect color can be overwhelming, with so many options to choose from. In this blog post, we'll provide you with some tips for choosing the right
exterior paint colors for your community.
Consider the style of your community
The first thing you should consider when choosing an exterior paint color is the style of your community. Different styles of communities have certain color palettes that compliment them best. For example, a modern community may look best with black,whites, and grays, while a tuscan-style community may look best with earthy tones.
Take inspiration from your surroundings
Another great way to choose the right exterior paint color is to take inspiration from your surroundings. Look at the colors of the neighboring communities, the landscaping, and any natural elements surrounding your community. Use the ocean or the mountains for inspiration. This will help you choose a color that complements the existing surroundings.
Look at the undertones
When choosing an exterior paint color, it's important to look at the undertones. Undertones are the colors that are present in a paint color, even if they're not the dominant color. For example, a gray paint may have blue undertones, while a beige paint may have yellow undertones. It's important to choose a color with undertones that complement the other colors in your community. If you work with EmpireWorks on your paint project we will set you up with a paint color specialist that can help you narrow down your options.
Test your paint colors
Before committing to a paint color, it's important to test it out. At EmpireWorks, we offer painting sample sizes of the paint colors to the community for viewing. We paint a small section of your community's exterior to give you a better idea of how the color looks in different lighting and against the other colors in your community.
Don't forget about the trim
When choosing an exterior paint color, don't forget about the trim. The trim color can make a big impact on the overall look of your community.
Conclusion
Choosing the right exterior paint color for your community can be a daunting task, but with these tips and our help you can make the process easier. By following these tips, you'll be able to choose an exterior paint color that enhances your community's curb appeal and complements its surroundings.
