Tips for Choosing the Right Shade of Blue

- Consider Your Home’s Style: The architectural style of your home can guide your color choice. Traditional homes may look best with classic navy, while modern homes might shine with cobalt or slate blue.

- Think About Surroundings: Consider the natural landscape and neighboring homes. Sky blue and robin’s egg blue work well in natural, verdant settings, while more vibrant shades like turquoise stand out in urban or tropical locales.

- Test Before You Commit: Paint swatches can look different in various lights. Try a few samples on your exterior to see how they look at different times of day.

Choosing the right shade of blue for your home’s exterior can significantly enhance its curb appeal and reflect your personal style. Whether you opt for the timeless elegance of navy or the vibrant energy of turquoise, blue offers a wide range of possibilities to make your home truly stand out.

Very professional, prompt and reliable. Liked the estimating and contracting process. Contract was well prepared. The crew showed up timely, worked efficiently. Pam from Seela's (color consult) was a fabulous perk of Spectrum and she is awesome!

We had Spectrum Painting power wash and paint the outside of our house. They did such a fantastic job that we tripled the scope of the project during the process and the results are phenomenal. We wound up having them do the siding, window trim, doors, lights and much more. The end results is better then I expected. The entire Spectrum team was amazing throughout the process and on several occasions went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them.

Perfect work, responsive to ideas and questions. Clean, meticulous workspace when finished. Have known Rich for years - he and his team are the real deal - exactly what you would hope for when hiring someone to do work at your home. Would not use anyone else for painting/floor coating but Spectrum!

Your professional workers just left and like the last time I am refreshingly amazingly Happy!! I wish I could afford to tip them! I told them in a world where everyone is out for themselves it is heartwarming to meet people of honest quality who do a perfect job with smiles on their faces. They go beyond my expectations. This time I asked them to caulk a hole in a wall that they did not paint. They not only caulked it for me - they found the paint and painted the spot for me! I am so proud of your company and thank you very much.

Had spectrum paint our new addition inside and out and the rest of our first floor. They really did a great job. They were very professional and all of the painters took pride in their work. They showed up pleasant and left at the end of each day with a smile. They cleaned up like they weren't even there. I would highly recommend them.
