Choosing exterior paints for the external walls of our house involves factors like roofing, weather conditions etc. Our house has to blend in with the neighbourhood houses and at the same time stand out. Unlike the interior walls of the house, normally one single colour is chosen for the exterior walls. More colours on the outside gives our house a cluttered look. Apex ultima from Asian paints is one of the best colours in the brands available for painting the exterior of the house. Also, remember that Indian palettes have vivid colours, unlike western colours. Using paints like Apex ultima gives a distinct character to our house.

How to choose paint colours for the exterior of our house?

  1. Dark colours are a definite no-no. Also, they tend to absorb dust and necessitate frequent re-painting of the house. A combination of light and dark colours can be used. Indians use very vivid colours for painting the exteriors of the house. So each house has its own individuality and stands out among others.
  2. Using a combination of colours is better than using a single colour. Different shades of the same colour give character to the house. This also prevents a monotonous appearance.
  3. The exterior walls of Indian houses are subject to inclement weather and heavy rains in the monsoon season. The paints we choose for our exterior walls should be durable. At the same time, it is better not to choose high gloss paints but paints with satin or eggshell finish. These paints will also enhance the look of the exterior walls and can be cleaned very easily.
  4. The paints we choose for our exterior walls should also blend with our surroundings. India is a country with different landscapes; hilly regions, plains and seashores. The paints should not seem asynchronous with the surroundings. The cities in Rajasthan are known for their uni-coloured themes, Jaipur is known as the pink city as the exterior walls of all houses in this city are painted pink. The exterior walls are the first sight that we see when we see a house and it should be attractive and the cynosure of all eyes.
  5. Just like we chart out paint colours for our interior rooms, we should carefully plan and decide the colours for our exterior walls too. A contemporary structure might sport a better look with warm neutrals whereas a cottage-type outdoor will look better with earthy tones. Use testers to choose the colours before settling on the final colour. Beige and white themes go well with large-scale concepts.
  6. If there is a piece of patio furniture or some exterior furniture being used, the same has to be synchronised with the exterior wall colours.
  7. Choosing the appropriate season to paint the exterior walls is important. Summer or winter seasons are ideal for getting our exterior walls painted. Painting the exterior walls during the rainy season means painting again and again as colours might run due to inclement weather and not dry properly.
  8. The exterior wall colours must complement or contrast with the roof themes. Roofs may be made of metal, tiles or concrete. The exterior wall colours must add value to the bigger picture and the house as a whole.
  9. The colours chosen should have curb appeal. Neighbourhood colour themes have aesthetic appeal and should add value to the driveway, greenery and architecture around.
  10. We should use textures and finishes which will lend character to the combination chosen. If we have brick walls, stone walls or marble walls, this will go well with neutral colours and increase the curb appeal of the house. Apex ultima offers a variety of choices in pastels, bright colours and shades of every kind.
