Choose a whole-house color scheme (walls, trim and front door) made of real named paints, then see it on a photo of your own house with AI exterior paint. Free in your browser, with no sign-up.
Three steps from a scheme to your own house in those colors.
Choose one of the whole-house schemes below: a wall color, a trim color and a front door color, each a real named paint with its code. Or go straight to the visualizer and pick your own.
Photograph the front of the house from the street in daylight, straight on, with the whole facade in frame. The scheme goes with the photo, so you do not have to set the colors again.
See the house repainted on your own photo, compare it with the original, and try another scheme. Each design names its paints, so you know which samples to buy.
Six whole-house combinations, each one body, trim and door color. The drawings are flat swatch illustrations, not AI renders: press “Try this scheme on my house” to see the real thing on your own photo.
Suits: Modern farmhouses, board and batten, gabled houses with simple trim
A soft white body keeps the house bright without glare, and near-black trim and door draw the window lines crisply. It reads as high contrast but stays warm next to wood and stone.

A deep navy body with a clean white trim is a classic traditional pairing, and a brick red door gives the entry a single point of warmth.

A warm gray-beige sits comfortably next to warm roofs and masonry, white trim keeps it fresh, and a navy door adds contrast without fighting the body color.

A dark body makes the house recede into planting and lets white frames outline the windows. A warm brown door echoes natural wood.

A light cool gray matches gray and black roofs, bright white trim keeps it from looking flat, and a soft black door anchors the entry.

A muted sage body blends with the yard, white trim keeps the details visible, and a deep green door repeats the body color in a darker shade.

The scheme you pick opens the AI paint visualizer with your colors already set. Add a photo of your house and HomeGPT repaints it on that photo, keeping the light, shadows and texture of the real walls. The roof, windows, chimneys and anything else you did not ask to change stay as they are.

The roof, brick, stone, windows and driveway stay. Look at their undertone first: a warm brown roof or red brick wants warm body colors (creams, greiges, warm whites); a cool gray or black roof suits cool grays, blues and crisp whites.
One body color, one trim color and one accent for the front door is the classic rule. A house with shutters can take a fourth, but it usually repeats the door color.
High contrast (dark walls and white trim, or white walls and black trim) shows off windows and architectural detail. Low contrast (a trim one or two shades off the body) looks calmer and suits plain or busy facades.
Strong sun washes color out, so south and west walls read lighter than the chip; shaded walls read darker and cooler. A house in full sun often needs a shade deeper than you first think.
A scheme should suit the street even if it stands out. Homeowner associations and historic districts often limit exterior colors, so check before you buy paint.
Colonials and Cape Cods suit classic whites, navies and muted greens; modern farmhouses suit white with black trim; craftsman and ranch houses take earthy, nature-based palettes; contemporary houses carry charcoal well.
