Choose a colour scheme for the walls, trim and front door, then see it on a photo of your own house, whether it is rendered, pebbledashed, brick or weatherboard. Free in your browser, with no sign-up.
In the United States or Canada? The house color visualizer is the American English edition, with siding schemes and gallons.
From a scheme on this page to your own house in those colours.
Choose one of the whole-house schemes below: a wall colour, a trim colour and a front door colour, each a named paint with its code. Or go straight to the visualiser and let it suggest colours from your photo.
Photograph the front of the house from the pavement in daylight, square on, with the whole front in the frame. The scheme goes with the photo as a note, so you do not have to set the colours again.
See two schemes painted on your own photo and compare them with the original. Each one lists its paints, a rough quantity and a typical price where you live.
Whole-house combinations, each one wall, trim and door colour. 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: Rendered semis and bungalows, and houses with a slate or dark tiled roof
A soft white keeps a rendered front bright without the glare of brilliant white, a cleaner white on fascias and window surrounds sharpens the edges, and a very deep green door gives the entrance some weight.

A light warm greige is kinder to a textured wall than white, which shows every shadow in the dash. Bright white trim lifts it, and a navy door sits well beside red brick and clay tiles.

A creamy off-white reads as traditional rather than stark, white picks out the window surrounds and string courses, and a classic red door is the one strong colour on the street side.

A muted grey-green settles a boarded house into its garden, clean white keeps the window frames and verandah posts visible, and a deep oxblood door adds warmth without shouting.

A soft blue-grey looks at home under a changeable sky, warm white trim stops it turning cold, and a navy door repeats the wall colour several shades deeper.

A deep charcoal makes a simple modern front recede behind its planting and suits dark frames. Warm white on the trim outlines the shape, and a brick red door marks the way in.
Try this scheme on my housePaint names, codes and swatch values are as published on the Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams colour pages, read 2026-10-16. HomeGPT is not affiliated with or endorsed by either brand. Screen colours are approximate: confirm with tester pots. To build a scheme of your own, use the exterior colour picker or the colour palette generator.
The scheme you pick opens the AI paint visualiser with your colours already noted. Add a photo and HomeGPT paints the house two ways on that photo, keeping the light, shadows and texture of the real walls. The roof, windows, chimneys and anything else it does not list stay as they are.
Want to see results first? The paint visualiser page shows real houses repainted by HomeGPT, before and after. For new cladding or render rather than paint, try the siding and render visualiser.
The visualiser paints the wall you have and never swaps it for another material. What suits each one is different.
The easiest wall to change. Whites and creams are the safe choice; greiges, soft greys and muted greens hide weather staining better than brilliant white. Use a masonry paint, and if the render is a modern through-coloured system, follow its maker’s guidance on repainting.
Texture throws shadows, so every colour reads a shade darker and patchier than on smooth render. Mid tones are more forgiving than stark white. A textured wall also takes more paint than a smooth one, so treat the quantity on the design as a starting point.
Painting bare brick is a big decision that is hard to undo, and the wrong paint can hold moisture in an older wall. If the brick is staying, change the trim, fascias and front door around it instead, and tell the visualiser in a note to leave the brick unpainted.
Timber boards and fibre cement take colour well, from pale coastal greys to deep charcoal. Dark colours get hotter in full sun, so check the board or paint maker’s guidance before going very dark on a north or west facing wall in Australia or South Africa.
A design follows the country you are in. Quantities and typical costs are estimates from a photo, not a quote; the plan prices are what HomeGPT itself charges if you ever want more than the free designs.

The first 2 designs each day are free everywhere. Prices are listed in US dollars (US$) unless shown in your local currency, as they are in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, India and Indonesia. Elsewhere, checkout shows the final price in your currency, which may include a regional discount. Prices shown in the United Kingdom and Australia include VAT and GST. Other taxes may be added at checkout where they apply. The app's own screens use British spelling in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. See HomeGPT pricing for every plan and what it includes.
Every colour a design names is a real published paint from Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams, with its code. Those are North American ranges. HomeGPT does not name Dulux, Farrow & Ball, Crown, Little Greene, Taubmans or Haymes colours, so outside North America use the name, code and swatch as a reference: take them to your paint supplier and ask for the closest colour in the masonry or exterior range you plan to use, then check a tester pot on the wall.
That is also why the schemes above give a swatch beside every name. The colour is what matters; the brand is only where its published value comes from.
Roof tiles or slates, brickwork, stone sills, UPVC window frames and the drive stay. Read their undertone first: warm clay tiles and red brick want creams, greiges and warm whites; grey slate and concrete tiles suit cooler greys, blues and crisp whites.
One wall colour, one trim colour for fascias, bargeboards and window surrounds, and one accent for the front door. White UPVC windows count as your trim colour whether you like it or not, so choose a wall colour that sits well beside them.
Your front is read with the house next door. A scheme a tone or two away from theirs looks deliberate; a clash at the party line looks like a mistake. Look at the whole pair or row in the photo, not only your half.
Low grey light flattens colour, so a scheme can look duller on a British street than on the chart; strong southern-hemisphere sun does the opposite and washes pale colours out. Judge colours on your own wall, at the time of day you see it most.
Listed buildings and conservation areas in the UK, heritage overlays and strata rules in Australia, and estate or body corporate rules elsewhere can limit exterior colours. Ask before you buy paint, not after.
Victorian and Edwardian fronts suit creams, stone colours and deep traditional doors; 1930s semis take soft whites and greiges with one strong door colour; modern houses and extensions carry charcoal and near-black well.
