There used to be two main
ways of color-styling a house, and
they're both on the way out" says
color consultant Frederic H. Rahr.
THE first approach was to paint
the whole house white, except the
shutters, which were usually
green. The alternate method was
to buy six or eight vivid colors
and turn the house into a rain
bow.
Color selection today is color
coordination. 1t beats the old
ways because it allows the home
owner to express his individuality
without being afraid he's violat-
ing any rules of good taste"
Pick Roof Color First
Color coordination, Rahr ex-
plains, means picking an attrac-
tive roof color, then selecting col
ors for siding and trim to har-
monize with the roofing.
"And to make coordination SIM
pier" he adds, more and mort
manufacturers of paints, asphalt
roofing, asbestos siding, and other
building materials are coloring
their products in related tones"
Thus, Rahr says, the home
owner has a virtually unlimited
choice of colorful building ma
terials with which to style his
house.
For example, the householder
who plans to build or remodel
with a roof of blue-green asphalt
shingles may select powder blue
for the siding, charcoal for the
caves and window trim, and coral
for the accent.
accent" Is Contrast
accent" refers to a vivid con-
traSt color applied to limited
area, usually to the front door,
and sometimes to window boxes
or other details. The accent color
acts as a focal point for the OBJ
servers eye.
If the roof is to be pastel green
asphalt shingles, related combi-
nations include pale green siding,
dark green trim, and bright yell
low accent, or cream siding, pastel
green trim, and yellow-green ac-
cent.
To-day" Rahr concludes, "many
building materials are being made
with 'built-in,' long-lasting colors.
colors that satisfy the fussiest ap-
petite"
