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.
