Built for exterior decisions

Why this works better than guessing

Every page on this site leads to the same workflow: upload a real photo of your home, isolate the right exterior surfaces, compare real paint brands, and save the versions worth discussing.

Start with the real house

Exterior paint decisions get easier when the exact facade, roofline, stone, and landscaping are visible from the beginning.

Compare real paint brands on one photo

Keeping the same image and surface masking makes it much easier to judge subtle differences between whites, neutrals, darks, and accent colors.

See major surfaces together

Body color, trim, shutters, doors, garage doors, and accents usually need to be judged as one composition instead of isolated swatches.

Save and share the strongest options

Saved previews work well in family discussions, contractor presentations, client reviews, and any approval process where everyone needs the same reference point.

Common questions

Direct answers before you choose paint

What is a good exterior paint color combination?

A good exterior paint combination balances the main body color, trim, and accent color. For example, a warm white body with dark trim, a greige body with crisp trim, or a muted green body with warm accents can work when the roof and materials support it.

Should exterior trim be lighter or darker than the siding?

Either can work. Lighter trim creates classic definition, while darker trim can make the house feel more modern and grounded. The best choice depends on the architecture, window color, roof color, and amount of contrast you want.

How do I test exterior color combinations before painting?

Preview complete combinations on a real photo, not one color at a time. Compare at least three full schemes, then sample the finalists on the actual exterior in sun and shade.
