Exterior Paint Color Portfolio
The following is a small sample of the over 1600 projects. Click on the image to make it larger. I do not have a listing of the colors used in the projects below so there is a research fee. If you are interested in obtaining the color name and code for any of the samples, please email me with the Project ID listed below the project name along with Before, After, Alternate 1,2 etc. Please understand that the color calibration of your monitor affects the colors you see on your screen. There is a $20 research fee for the first color and $10 for each additional color payable through Pay Pal.
1901 Colonial Revival
Before
After
Alternative color scheme.
While the homeowner would have preferred accenting the features like a Queen Ann, one must remember that this is NOT a Queen Ann. It is a very formal house and accenting the details will make the house look cheap and tacky. Sometimes it’s difficult to get a homeowner to understand that less is more.
Scope of Work
- New paint colors.
1905 Orange Brick House
Before
After
White trim does nothing for this house. The green trim tones down the harsh orange brick.
Scope of Work
- New paint colors.
1891 Blue Victorian
Blue Victorian before.
After
Alternative color scheme.
Blue is not a historic paint color and it looks awful on this house partially because of the bad color placement. The color placement on this house really throws the house off.
Scope of Work:
- Color placement corrected.
- New paint colors.
Second Empire Painted Lady in NJ
Alternative colors.
Painted Lady after.
Alternative colors.
Scope of Work:
- Color placement corrected.
- New paint colors.
I don’t normally do painted ladies for they are extremely complicated to do if done correctly. In this case some of the color placement needed to be corrected for the colors did not follow through with the architecture.
1885 Baker House B&B in Lake Geneva Wisconsin
Before
New Queen Anne paint colors.
Alternative color scheme.
Scope of Work:
- New Victorian colors.
I know what you’re thinking and you’re right. The enclosed porch ruins the look of this B&B. Apparently this house sits on Lake Geneva and the winds are strong. Here is an article on this house.
