Simply following a few basic rules will put you well on your way to curb appeal success.<\/p>\n<p>Color expert Kate Smith, president of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sensationalcolor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sensational Color<\/a>, partners with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davinciroofscapes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">DaVinci Roofscapes<\/a> to help homeowners create beautiful homes. Through her years of experience, Smith determined that the path to designing a gorgeous exterior starts at the top. The roof naturally attracts attention as a large swath of surface area and it\u00a0warrants careful consideration. Smith has put together a visual that shows how to match colors based on the roof that\u00a0we think you&#8217;ll find helpful. A picture&#8217;s worth a thousand words, so see for yourself how the roof dictates color selection!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/davinci-statepoint-online-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10212\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/davinci-statepoint-online-01.jpg\" alt=\"davinci-statepoint-online-01\" width=\"2542\" height=\"8667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/davinci-statepoint-online-01.jpg 2542w, https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/davinci-statepoint-online-01-88x300.jpg 88w, https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/davinci-statepoint-online-01-768x2619.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/davinci-statepoint-online-01-300x1024.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2542px) 100vw, 2542px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do you have a favorite exterior color scheme?
