What are the benefits of the color you paint the exterior of your home?

  1. Dark color paints on the exterior of your home actually absorb sunlight. This causes a natural heating system that reduces energy usage from your heating system. Really bright colors painted on the exterior of your home reflect sunlight, and help keep your house cooler. This reduces air conditioning energy usage. Your Heating and air Conditioning system is your largest energy bill, so any reductions of use save you money, and you reduce the greenhouse gases that go into our air. An example of bright colored homes in hot areas is homes along beach fronts. That is why they are usually painted bright and vibrant colors.
