Exterior Paint Colors

Choosing the best exterior paint color for your home should be fun…in theory.

In reality, you often end up standing in your driveway with your nosy neighbor, staring at 15 splotches of color on your siding and wondering why that gray looks blue, that beige looks pink, and that white looks yellow.

This is where this guide comes in – it’s time to make color fun again!

Using REAL HOME EXAMPLES, I’ll walk you through how to choose your home’s main paint color, with a dose of humor (okay, maybe a few doses and Mimosas), in a practical way that’s easy to understand and actually use on your home.

And this isn’t your everyday ’20 page basic e-book’. Instead, you’re getting…

• Over 200 pages of first-hand experience guidance, tips, and ideas for a wide range of home styles
• Over 200 images, including before and afters.
• Kylie’s personality, wisdom, and questionable humor.

In this guide, you’re learning how to…

• Choose a main paint color that works with your home’s existing finishes
• Coordinate with a range of window colors, including white, black, greige, and beige
• Understand which colors go with a WIDE range of brick and stone exterior finishes
• Coordinate with a ton of roofing products, including the most popular asphalt roofs, Spanish tile, metal, and cedar
• Decide which finishes and features should take priority – even when they aren’t playing nicely together
• Understand how north, south, east, and west-facing exposures can affect a home
• Avoid common color mistakes that can make a palette look disconnected, clashy, or just plain wrong
• Stop rage-buying another 8 sample pots of colors that may or may not work
• Narrow your options down with confidence

When choosing the best color for an ENTIRE HOME, ‘I think this one looks good’ only gets you so far as the first few brush marks. You need to understand what your home is asking for, and once you do, that giant pile of possibilities gets a heck of a lot smaller.

Because the best exterior paint color isn’t necessarily the trendiest one, or the one that looked amazing on the house down the road. It’s the one that actually works with YOUR home.
