Women Have Better Vision When It Comes to Color

Women in general have a better color awareness than men, says Rita Long, New York color stylist That s why Miss Long believes that a woman’s role in selecting exterior colors for a new or existing home should be a major one. Here are some of her suggestions: The color scheme of a house should always be related closely to its natural surroundings. “But that doesn’t mean you can’t use lively colors,” Miss Long says. “For a desert house, for instance, I might choose sand beige siding, a cactus yellow’ door, sage green trim, and a roof of white asphalt shingles.” White asphalt shingles, she explains, are an especially good choice in hot climates because they keep the house cooler by reflecting the sun’s rays without glare. For a house on a rocky hillride, Miss Long suggests white siding, a bam red panel door and shutters, medium green asphalt shingles to blend with sur-

rounding trees, and • Tdfift low x planter of natural stone to tie the house into the landscape. It’s best to choose the roof color first, then plan the others, exterior colors around it, Miss \ Long advises. Asphalt shingles will last for many years, whereas the siding and trim can be painted every few years. In selecting the color for siding, be sure it’s appreciably darker or lighter than the roof, Miss Long warns. For instance, if you choose a light gray roof and want blue siding, pick a dark blue. “You need contrast in value as well as in hue,” she explains. ' ■ “Don’t be afraid of color,” says Miss Long. “Look how lavishly nature uses it!” But be guided by the natural colors in your area. With asphalt shingles available in many colors, ranging from light to deep tones, and the wide palette of exterior paints now being sold, your house can be completely individual yet look as though it belongs in its surroundings.
