Before you delve into the exact color you want for the home, think about the color of your roof. Those who have a neutral roof color (like gray or black) can choose nearly any color without worrying about any clashing. If your roof has more color to it, you’ll want to stay away from shades that will look jarring against the roof. This is especially true if the roof has tones of blue, tan, red, or green.
Keep in mind that most painters charge by the hour, and the more work there is to be done, the higher the overall costs will be. If your home needs more extensive work, however, such as making significant repairs to the siding or stucco, or if there is a lot of delicate trim that needs to be worked around, you could have higher costs, up to an additional $15 an hour for this work. So, while the above prep work is usually included in the hourly cost of roughly $50 per hour per painter, you can expect costs to climb to an average of $65 per hour per painter for work such as repairing or patching holes, repairing or replacing trim, and installing new caulk or putty around windows and doors.

Darker colors may also seem enticing, but they tend to fade faster due to the elements. Using lighter, neutral colors is usually the best way to go. That way, you can use those splashes of fun or dark colors on other exterior features such as doors, window sills, trim, and more.
You can also change the visual perception of the shape or affect the degree of natural light, which is a particularly important factor during construction in latitudes where the climate is not moderate.
