Color recommendations from a professional painting contractor who has painted 2,000+ homes in Lehigh County.
Gray is still a safe, sophisticated choice - but has largely given way to warmer tones in 2025-2026. If you love gray, the key is understanding undertones. Most grays have either a blue, green, purple, or brown undertone that becomes dominant in certain lighting. Test in your actual space. These recommendations are based on what's working in Trexlertown and Lehigh County homes right now - accounting for our regional light, architecture, and climate.
Paint colors look completely different in Trexlertown's specific light conditions than they do on a chip or a screen. Our local knowledge of how colors perform in Lehigh Valley and Lehigh County lighting - morning, midday, overcast, and evening - helps you avoid the most common mistake: falling in love with a color in the store and hating it on your wall.
We offer free color consultation with any painting project, or a standalone paid consultation ($150-$300) that is credited toward your project if you book within 60 days.
Not sure which color is right for your home? We bring sample boards to your Trexlertown home and test colors in your actual light before you commit. Best $150 you'll spend on a painting project.
