It can be easy to take our home’s appearance for granted - after all, home is where we seek refuge after our long days away. Over time, we get used to how our home looks, and we don’t spend the time to think whether our homes deserve a little TLC.

At Supershade South, we know that a home’s appearance is a blank canvas. Our exterior walls provide an opportunity to show your family, friends, and neighbors a little bit more about you - who you are, what your style is, and your personality. How you decorate your home can also impact its overall value. Choosing the right color for your house can be fun and exciting!

As the season transitions from winter to spring and summer, now is the perfect time to give those walls a fresh coat of paint and try something new! With the proper guidance from our experts at Supershade South, it we make the entire process quick and easy. We have been in the business of providing quality paints and products for over 20 years and have become known as one of the most trusted names in the area. When it comes to choosing the right paint for your home, Benjamin Moore exterior paints are our go-to.

But where do we start?

Consider Your Home's Architecture

The first step to choosing the right color for your home's exterior is to consider the architecture of your home. Different architectural styles have different color palettes that complement them. For example, a traditional-style home looks great with classic, muted colors like beige, gray, or white. On the other hand, a contemporary-style home can benefit from bold, vibrant colors like blue or red.

Take Inspiration from Your Surroundings

Another great way to choose a color for your home's exterior is to take inspiration from your surroundings. Look at the colors of your landscape, including its trees, flowers, and shrubs. Choose colors that complement the natural environment around your home. For example, if your home is surrounded by greenery, consider a color like brown, cream, or pale green.

Think About the Climate

The climate in which you live can also play a role in choosing the right color for your home's exterior. If you live in a hot climate, you might want to choose a lighter color to reflect the sun's rays and keep your home cool. In a cooler climate, a darker color can help absorb the heat and keep your home warm.

Test the Color

Once you have narrowed down your color options, it's important to test them before making a final decision. At Supershade South, we carry small Benjamin Moore sample paint colors that you can use to test on your home's exterior. Be sure to test the color in different lighting conditions, including morning, afternoon, and evening. The way a color looks in natural sunlight can be very different from how it looks in artificial light.
