Exterior paint visualizer — see a new color on your own house

An exterior paint visualizer shows a paint color on a photo of your own house before you paint it. Roomvana's version repaints only the siding in the photo you upload and leaves the roof, windows, door, driveway and yard as they are, so you judge the color on your real home instead of on a stock house or a two-inch paint chip.

Roomvana's exterior paint visualizer offers seven siding paint colors: navy blue (Benjamin Moore HC-154 Hale Navy), sage green (Sherwin-Williams SW 6178 Clary Sage), greige (Sherwin-Williams SW 7029 Agreeable Gray), white (Sherwin-Williams SW 7005 Pure White), cream (Benjamin Moore 912 Linen White), charcoal (Benjamin Moore HC-166 Kendall Charcoal) and black (Sherwin-Williams SW 6258 Tricorn Black). The codes are the shades each preset is matched to, so you can ask for them at the paint counter. The same picker also has painted white brick, natural cedar and stone veneer.

The preview is close, not lab-exact. Exterior colors usually look lighter on the house than on the chip, because full sun washes them out, and your screen adds its own shift. Use the render to choose a direction, then paint a large sample board and look at it on the north and south sides of the house at different times of day before you buy.

Yes. The visualizer recolors vinyl, wood, fiber-cement and painted siding the same way. If you plan to actually paint vinyl siding, ask about a vinyl-safe formula: very dark colors absorb heat and can warp vinyl, which is why Sherwin-Williams sells a VinylSafe color range. The render shows the look; your painter confirms the product.

Yes, one surface at a time. In the same tool, switch from Siding to Front door, Shutters or Garage door and pick a color; only that surface changes. To try a full combination, repaint the siding first, then click Change something on the result and repaint the door on top of it.

No. The exterior paint visualizer recolors the siding only. To preview a new roof — charcoal or black architectural shingles, weathered-wood shingles, a black standing-seam metal roof or terracotta tile — use Roomvana's roof color visualizer, which changes only the roof.

Yes. You can try it free with a photo of your house — no credit card needed. After that, a one-time credit pack (from $14.99 for 30 designs) removes the watermark and unlocks custom instructions and commercial usage rights. No subscription, and credits never expire. You can also try the tool on our example houses before you sign up.

A straight-on photo of the front of the house, taken in daylight from across the street, works best. Get the whole facade in frame, avoid low sun that throws hard shadows across the siding, and move cars out of the driveway if you can. Overcast light is the most forgiving because it shows the siding's true color.

The picker has seven paint colors. If you have a specific shade in mind, pick the closest preset and name the color you want — for example 'Sherwin-Williams SW 7069 Iron Ore' — in the custom instructions on a paid render, and the AI will aim for that color.

Yes. Many HOAs ask for the proposed color before you paint, and a before/after of your own house is easier to approve than a chip. Download the image or share its link; tell the board which real paint code it's matched to, since the render itself is an approximation.

The exterior paint visualizer changes one thing — the siding color — and keeps everything else in your photo the same. Roomvana's AI exterior design tool restyles the whole facade instead: siding, trim, door, lighting and front-yard landscaping together, in a style such as modern farmhouse or coastal. Use this page when you're only repainting.

Yes. Run the same photo with two or three shades back to back — navy against charcoal, or sage against greige — and compare the results side by side. Most people narrow it down to one or two colors this way before buying sample pots.
