Picking out house paint colors can be a very difficult task. There are literally millions of different color schemes to choose from. This article will give you a few tips on selecting interior and exterior house colors.

There are certain things you need to think about when choosing interior colors. You should be aware that different light sources can affect how the color looks. It's best that you view your color chart in natural sunlight, incandescent light, night hours, etc.

There are also different finishes of interior colors you can choose from. A matte or flat finish is good if there are any imperfections on the wall. Glossier finishes will reflect more light, so you'll need to ensure that you prepare the surface properly before applying them.

When choosing on a new look for an interior room, a color wheel can be your best friend. The wheel will help you decide on a complementary color scheme with ends. Two colors on the opposite ends of the wheel complement each other perfectly and provide a cleaner look.

It's also important to take any other colors in the room into account. These other colors may reflect onto the newer color and change its appearance. Any colored curtains in the room may have the same effect.

Once you've narrowed down your color schemes for the interior, you can apply them on small sections of the wall. This will give you a good idea of how the final project will look.

Deciding on exterior house colors is a whole different ballgame. The exterior of your home can be composed on many different surfaces such as stone, brick, wood, and shingles. Therefore, any outdoor paint you choose must be compatible with these surfaces.

It's also important that you take into consideration the type of weather you deal with in your area. Different paints can stand up to extreme weather conditions better. Don't choose a paint that will break down to UV light or weather elements quickly. This will cost you money, since you would need to paint again that much sooner.

These are a few tips on choosing house paint colors. You can use a color wheel to choose a color based on any other colors already present in fabric or curtain in the room. There are also different finishes that you can apply. When choosing exterior house colors, keep the type of surfaces that you'll be working with in mind.
