Harmony Collection Inside Outside Historic Atmospheric Full Color Palette

House personality

The beautification of your home is intimately related to the valorization of its architectural elements, the respect of it surroundings and naturally, the expression of your personal tastes. Selecting the right colors and harmonizing them are important steps that will have a major impact on the personality you want your home to convey.

Your house is your canvas

Some colors are already established. Choose a color scheme that harmonizes with existing colors, like brick, stone, and landscaping.

Body (siding)
An effective exterior palette consists of three main colors. The color of the body should be the dominant one and should influence the choice of the other ones. The color of brick or other types of coating must be taken into consideration when choosing your color palette.

Roof
The color of the roof has to be considered in the color palette. The paint color doesn't need to match the roof but it should harmonize.

Shutters, molding, doors, window sashes,
brackets, column and porch decks

To maximize the details of those architectural elements select accent colors. To minimize those architectural details use a shade darker or lighter than the color of your siding.

Garage Door
Generally, the color must blend with your home and integrate into overall structure rather than out. Avoid bright colors and marked contrasts too.

Use the 60 :: 30 :: 10
RATIO OF COLOR

  • 60% --> for the body,
  • 30% --> for the roof, door and window,
  • 10% --> for the architectural details.
