The exterior colour of your home is an opportunity to make a first impression. It sets the tone for your property, reflecting personal style and distinctive design. However, the colour decision-making process may feel daunting. In fact, according to a recent study conducted by Behr*, more than half (55%) of Canadian homeowners say colour selection is the biggest hurdle when it comes to starting a home exterior project.
The new Curb Appeal Collection featuring 30 popular exterior paint, stain, and spray paint colours takes the guesswork out of the colour selection process allowing you to complete your exterior project on any scale with ease.
As a bonus, the 2024 Exterior Stain Colour of the Year, Tugboat, is part of the Curb Appeal collection and comfortably complements all the colours for the ultimate exterior enhancement.
To blend into the natural beauty of wood siding, use earthy colour tones like tan, green or grey for a warm and welcoming appeal.
For Ranch style homes, try terracotta or brown shades that seamlessly blend with nature while adding a pop of colour like a blue door for visual interest.
Give your home a distinctive identity with a dark blue and light pink colour combination for a bold and fun statement that showcases character and creativity.
For a home with both stone and siding, choose colours that complement them both while balancing the overall aesthetic. For example, if the brick or stone is on the lighter side, consider darker paint colours like black or deep blue for the siding and trim to create contrast.
A combination of colours creates visual interest and highlights architectural features. Consider using neighbouring hues for the body of the home exterior and white for the trim. Bolder colours draw attention to architectural features like doors, shutters, or window frames.
The Curb Appeal Collection provides a variety of colours for any project scale, whether you’re looking to give your home an entire exterior refresh or looking to make a big impact with a small project, like painting your front door or trim.
