If you are painting the outside of your home, selecting an exterior paint color can be a tough decision. There are so many tones, shades, and finishes to choose from that it can be overwhelming. However, the decision can really add to the value of your home, and completely change the look of it. No pressure though, right?

When picking out your color, you should definitely consider light; there are some colors that fade quickly after being in direct sunlight. If you are trying to sell your home, you should stick with a neutral color, and paint the trim to give your house pop. A few other thoughts to keep in mind are lighter colors make the home look bigger and a great color on the front door can really catch the eye.
