Deep Plum
PAINT PICK Creative Thinker
(30-20); prattandlambert.com
BEST FOR Georgian architec-
ture. These house’s roots go
back to a style popular during
the reigns of four British kings
named George. Nod to your
home’s royal connections with
a stately shade of purple.
DEFINING ELEMENTS Leave
the trim light. Break up the
dark eggplant door and red-
brick exterior with white on
the pediment and pilasters.

Lime Green
PAINT PICK Sassy Green
(SW 6416); sherwin-
williams.com
BEST FOR a simple white
cottage. A small dose of a
daring hue, such as this
surprising chartreuse tone,
creates a dramatic look-at-
me-now presence.
DEFINING ELEMENTS Make
a modern play and select
house numbers in a sans serif
font style to keep this cottage
grounded in 2019. Â

Apple Red
PAINT PICK Heritage Red
(HC-181); benjaminmoore.com
BEST FOR a Tudor. Whether
stone or stucco, big or small,
these homes have a naturally
imposing attitude. Counter
that with a cheery front door
that looks like it could have
been pulled from the pages
of a storybook.
DEFINING ELEMENTS Skip
delicate flowers around the
entryway, and pick shapely
boxwoods for easy impact.
1
Brilliant Blue
PAINT PICK Indigo (SW 6531);
sherwin-williams.com
BEST FOR Craftsman-style
homes. Their blocky millwork
and deep porches have
historically been associated
with muted earth tones.
Consider a new approach
with a shot of cobalt to
brighten your bungalow.
DEFINING ELEMENTS Stencil
the floor. Paint a calm, tonal
geometric pattern across
your front porch.
