A color that looks right on a chip can look different on a building. Testing on site avoids expensive surprises.

Key Takeaways

  • Test colors on the building.
  • View them at different times of day.
  • Get approvals before painting.
  • Record the final color and sheen.

Test properly

Paint a sample on the building and look at it morning, noon and evening. Check it next to fixed elements like roofing and brick.

  • View it at different times of day
  • Check it beside fixed elements like roofing or brick

Get approvals

Identify everyone who must approve: owner, manager, landlord, tenant, HOA or district.

  • Owner and manager
  • Landlord or tenant, where required
  • HOA or district rules

Record it

Record color name, code, sheen and where each is used. It simplifies future touch-ups.

  • Color name and code
  • Sheen
  • Where each color is used

Color is a business decision as well as a design one. It affects how customers see the building, so approvals and testing are worth the time.

Record the final choice once approved. Having the color name, code and sheen on file makes touch-ups simple years later.
