Upload one photo. Our color consultant reads your roof, brick and light, then paints the schemes that actually work. Real colors, real codes, on your real house.
The Exterior Colors That Keep Getting Chosen
Decades of repaints have quietly narrowed exterior color to a short list that works. Flip through it on a real house, then try your favorites on your own.

A Color Consultant, Not a Filter
Bucket-fill visualizers died out because nobody believed them. This one works the way a consultant works: it reads what can't change first — the roof, the brick, the light your facade actually gets — then builds the scheme around it. Body, trim, door. Colors that hold up from the curb, with the exact codes to buy them.
- Undertones checked against your fixed materials — the step most repaints skip
- Whole schemes, not lonely swatches — body, trim and door that agree
- Every suggestion is a real, mixable color from a real deck
Exterior Color in Four Lessons
Everything the good painters know and the color chips won't tell you — the four rules behind almost every exterior that works.
The House Was Painted Before You Got There
Your roof, your brick, your stone — those colors are already on the building and they're not moving. Every paint choice either agrees with them or argues with them. A greige with a pink undertone next to orange-red brick argues. Start from what's fixed; the visualizer does this automatically because the fixed materials are right there in your photo.
Sun Adds Two Shades of Light
A color that looks perfect on a chip indoors reads noticeably lighter across two hundred square feet of sunlit siding. That is why so many "greige" houses end up white and so many "charcoal" houses end up gray. Go one or two shades darker than the chip that feels right, and check the render in your photo's real light before deciding.
Three Parts Make a Scheme
Body, trim, accent. Houses that look "designed" almost always have exactly these three decisions made deliberately — a body color, a trim color that frames it, and one accent (usually the door) that gets to be interesting. One color is a warehouse; five is a carnival. Three, chosen together on the same photo, is a house.
Dark Is Beautiful — and Honest About It
Near-black houses are the strongest look of the decade, and they come with real trade-offs: they show dust and pollen, they fade faster in hard sun, and they can cook vinyl siding. None of that is a reason not to — it's a reason to preview first and buy the right product. The render shows you the drama for free.

The Same House, Three Ways
One facade, three of the most-chosen exterior colors in America — every image a real render from this tool. This is the comparison a chip on a string can't give you.
The warm white that flatters almost any roof — the default for a reason.
The gray-sage that took over exteriors — calm from the curb, current for years.
Brown-black with warmth in it — drama that still likes a wood door.
Every Major Deck, One Photo
Put a Sherwin-Williams body against a Benjamin Moore trim on the same photo — something no brand's own tool will let you do — and leave with codes for whichever store is closer.
Exterior Paint Is a Five-Figure Decision Made From a Two-Inch Chip
We've seen a whole facade repainted because a greige turned purple at sunset — a mistake any honest preview would have caught in an afternoon. So we built the exterior paint visualizer we'd use ourselves: upload a photo, virtually paint your house for free, and shortlist like a professional. Call it a house paint simulator, an app, an AI painter — the name matters less than the habit of seeing it on your house before you see it on an invoice.
One professional habit worth keeping: renders narrow, samples decide. Brush your two finalists on a sunny wall and a shaded one, look morning and evening, then order the five gallons.
The Photo Is Half the Result
Give the tool what a consultant would ask for: the whole front of the house, shot straight-on from across the street or the end of the driveway, in daylight. Skip the golden-hour drama and the hard afternoon shadows across the facade — flat light shows color honestly. One good photo of each side you're painting is enough; the same photo can be repainted as many times as you like.
How Honest Is the Preview?
More honest than a chip, less final than a brushed-out sample — exactly the middle step that's been missing. The render keeps your siding texture, your shadows and your daylight, and every color in it is a real deck color, never an approximation we invented. What no screen can carry is the last five percent: sheen, weathering and the way your own bulbs and evenings shift a shade. That's what the sample quart is for — after the renders have done the eliminating.
