    Take your roof color, foundation color and trim color into consideration knowing that your roof color will probably NOT change - or be adventurous and pick your favourite color and just go with it. You can always add your roof color to pots or trim to make it look more cohesive.

    Keep the paint neutral, especially if you may sell within the next 10 years. You may think a pink or mustard color house is pretty, but you may have trouble selling. You can be adventurous with the door color, and mailbox - the simplest thing to repaint.

    Most often if is personal preference, keeping in mind that neutral colors have the best resale value.

    It's really a personal preference. What colors are you drawn to? You also have to take into consideration that if you live in a home with an HOA, you may have to get the paint colors approved first.
