Light vs. Dark Colors
Lighter and darker colors affect how your eye perceives things. Lighter colors tend to make objects look larger and closer to you. Darker colors do the opposite, making objects seem smaller and farther away.

Choose light colors if your home:

• is small
• sits back from the street
• is surrounded by trees

Choose darker colors:

• for a cozier feel
• to blend in with natural surroundings
• sits too close to the street
