Choosing The Right Roof Colour:
A good rule of thumb for picking building colours is to use no more than three colours in total to coat, outline and accent a building. The exterior colour scheme should be based on three parts, a field colour, an accent colour and a trim colour.
- The field colour is the main colour of your home, and this could be the colour of your cladding or your roof.
- Use the accent colour is used on the doors, joinery and shutters of your home.
- Finally the trim colour is used for things such as windows, door casings, guttering and downpipes.
An accent can be bold and eye-catching, for example a red door. Ideally, the trim colour should contrast strongly with the field or main colour, therefore a dark trim will look stunning against a light field colour.
