Choosing the right house exterior color is not easy. As hard as you might try picturing your home in different colors, you fear you’ll choose wrong, but are stuck with it. It’s expensive to paint an entire house, whether you do it yourself or hire a painting crew.
While your house likely doesn’t look like the house we feature here, it’s possible showing you the same house in a wide array of colors in the color spectrum gives you an idea of the mood and look different colors have for a house exterior.
The original color of this colonial house is white. We then applied 25 different colors to that to compare them.
In the caption area of each image color I set out the Pantone color.
