COLOR small house gives it an from front doo! choice of exterior ever, should follow rules, savs Frederic noted color authority The average house, he says provides three color posibilities the roof. the wails and the front door and shutters The walls, being closest to the eve, should be done in a neutral color—not too brieht, not too dark. The roof, being silhouetted against the bright sky, requires the use of an intense or deep color to make it outstanding. Colors such as green. blue, red, brown, blue-black and blends of all of these make the most attractive roof shingles. The average house, Mr. Rahr savs, has a roof of green asphalt shingles. Good wall colors for this are beige-gray and off-white, Shutters and front door could be a dark grav, a matching green, or a contrasting deep cherry-red.
