The Best Exterior Paint Color Schemes
Selecting the right color palette for your home's exterior isn't just about the surfaces you are painting and staining. It's about the total look. For the perfect color combination that will give your home a stunning appearance, consider the shades of all existing elements, including the natural and rich hues found in brick, stone and grout.

Choose colors that match
Start by creating your "permanent color palette" with the colors of your exterior that will not change and will always be represented in your home's exterior design.
Then, pair your "permanent color palette" chips with the color chips you are considering for your base, trim and accent areas. Together, this makes up your "comprehensive color palette." Looking at all of these colors together will ensure that your exterior elements work together in harmony.
For example, this home's palette is:
