Color recommendations from a professional painting contractor who has painted 2,000+ homes in Northampton County.
Navy blue is the safest bold exterior color choice - it photographs beautifully, looks excellent with white trim, and is virtually universally liked. It tends to read darker than the chip, so test it in full sunlight before committing. Interior navy accent walls are stunning in dining rooms and bedrooms. These recommendations are based on what's working in Bangor and Northampton County homes right now - accounting for our regional light, architecture, and climate.
Paint colors look completely different in Bangor's specific light conditions than they do on a chip or a screen. Our local knowledge of how colors perform in Lehigh Valley and Northampton 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 Bangor home and test colors in your actual light before you commit. Best $150 you'll spend on a painting project.
