Color Tips

Helpful paint color guidance for homeowners, sellers, painters, and anyone trying to make the right color decision.

Paint tip

Why colors look different at home

Paint changes based on natural light, artificial light, flooring, furniture, surrounding colors, and even the direction your room faces. Always test samples in the actual space before painting.

Paint tip

Warm white vs. cool white

White paint can lean creamy, gray, blue, yellow, or green. The right white depends on nearby finishes, trim, cabinets, and the light in the room.

Paint tip

Exterior colors need context

Roof color, stone, brick, landscaping, shade, and neighborhood style can completely change how an exterior paint color looks.
