What Color To Paint The House?

I find it to be very scary trying to choose the paint colors for the house exterior.

What if I make a horrible mistake?  It is not an easy fix.

Much to my delight, I discovered the Sherwin-Williams website has a ColorSnap Visualizer, which allows you to “try on” colors. I was able to upload a photograph of my house and then try out different paint colors to see how they look together. Here is what I ultimately came up with:

You must register on the site in order for your color choices to be saved.  They offer images of interiors and exteriors to “paint”, choosing colors from their color palette.  There is also an option to upload your own image.  I took advantage of that option and, although the program was able to save my color palette, it wasn’t able to save and store my photo, so after each change that I made, I saved a screen shot of my work to my computer.  When my painter asked me if I had chosen my colors, I was able to give him a list of the colors with their Sherwin-Williams number and color name AND I sent him the photo showing the color placement as well.
