Friday Finds: New Colors for your Home’s Exterior

Is this the summer you improve your home’s curb appeal? It is for this Hirshfield’s customer who is already giving his home a new coat of paint.

A Hirshfield’s colorist went out to his home and selected a color scheme she thought would work for his style of home and for the neighborhood. The homeowner had difficulty visualizing how the colors would look on his home from the color chips. Problem solved. The homeowner asked the painter to do a mock-up for him. He loved the color scheme once he was able to see how the paint colors looked on his home.

This homeowner is not alone. Having a mock-up done is an excellent solution to a very common problem. Pick up a sample pint at Hirshfield’s and give your colors a test drive. Only use the sample pint for color;  it is not the product nor sheen that you’ll use on your home’s exterior. This is a DIY project or have your painter apply the colors for you.

Looking for inspiration? Get it right with these Benjamin Moore Exterior color combinations — you will be the envy of your neighbors.

Paint colors shown are Benjamin Moore 1154 Dash of Pepper for the body of the house, 1547 Dragon’s Breath on the shutters, and OC-45 Swiss Coffee.
