Exterior Colours

Hi Michelle,

When we would paint our internal walls, we would always go 1/2 strength. We did this because the colour samples would always look too intense on the walls.

What is the rule for exterior colour intensity?

The larger the area :

1. the lighter the colour ?

OR

2. the darker the colour ?

Thanks

My rule with exterior colours is to do the shaker darker!

Once exposed to the bright sun, the colours will wash out at least 2 shades lighter, and can be very disappointing. :wink:
