How to Choose Exterior Paint Colors That Work With Your Roof and Trim

Your roof, windows, stone and hardscaping don't change when you repaint — so start there. These fixed elements set the undertone your new colors should respect.

Start with what stays

Note whether your roof reads warm (browns, tans) or cool (grays, blacks). Choose body colors with a compatible undertone.

Test in real light

Sample swatches on several sides of the house and view them morning and evening. Idaho's bright sun can wash out lighter colors.
