HGTV® HOME Exterior Latex Paint by Sherwin Williams Review
Finding Your Perfect Color Palette
Finding the right color palette for your project can be both exciting and overwhelming. With so many shades to choose from, narrowing it down can seem impossible. However, working with Sherwin Williams and utilizing their website’s color selection tools can make the process much easier.
As Sherwin Williams states, “A fresh coat of paint is the easiest and most affordable way to update your space.“
According to a recent survey, 70% of homeowners feel more satisfied with their homes after a paint project.
Exploring Color Collections
If you’re not sure where to start, try browsing through Sherwin Williams’ color collections. These schemes are categorized into groups like Historic Colors, Colors for Children, and palettes to match your personality. Since I was working on an outdoor project, I checked out the Exterior Color Schemes and found ideas that blended well with my home’s architecture.
Using the Color Visualizer Tool
If you already have a particular color in mind, browse through the paint colors by family to find the perfect hue. Before making a purchase, I recommend trying the Color Visualizer tool. This program lets you upload a picture of your room and “paint” it in different colors before you buy. It was extremely helpful and a lot of fun! You can see how colors will look in your home and with your furnishings. The HGTV Home Designer Color Palettes can help you find complementary colors to create a harmonious look.
My Favorite Tool: “Chip It”
My favorite color selection tool was the “Chip It” program. This allows you to select any online image and create a color palette using the colors found in that image. I found my inspiration while shopping for outdoor rugs. The “Chip It” program helped me narrow down matching colors, eliminating guesswork. The colors I used for my deck were Naval Blue and Pediment White.
Choosing Your Paint
Once you’ve decided on your color palette, the next step is to choose your paint. If you’re unsure which paint is best, visit your local Sherwin Williams store and speak with a sales associate. They are very knowledgeable and can help you find the perfect paint for your needs. For my deck, I chose the HGTV® HOME Exterior Latex Paint by Sherwin Williams. This paint is durable, mildew-resistant, provides excellent coverage and is perfect for hiding flaws in the wood.
Painting the Deck: My Experience
To go with my nautical theme, I decided to paint the deck in a navy blue and white stripe pattern. Painting the stripes was more tedious than I expected. First, I painted the whiteboards. Once they were dry, I painted the alternating boards in blue. Instead of using a paint roller, I used a medium-sized nylon paintbrush for better control. I also used a hand-held 12-inch plastic guard instead of masking tape. This accessory saved me a lot of time and effort in prep work and costs under $5.00.
