Begin with the elements you are keeping
List the roof, window frames, doors and visible materials that will remain. Use them as constraints when exploring a facade palette. If an AI concept changes one of those elements, do not credit the paint color alone for the improvement.
Compare three different directions
A small set of distinct palettes makes differences easier to discuss. These are starting briefs, not product recommendations.
- Warm and quiet: off-white walls with a muted warm entrance accent.
- Light and contrasting: pale walls with darker trim that relates to the existing roof.
- Earth-toned: a restrained neutral facade with a natural-looking accent.
Keep lighting and materials in the comparison
A shaded wall and a sunlit wall can look like different colors. Gloss, texture, nearby greenery and the camera also affect an image. Compare the overall balance rather than trying to extract an exact paint code.
Move from an image to physical samples
Once you have a shortlist, use the concept as a conversation starter with your paint supplier or contractor. Review actual samples on the building in different light before making a purchase. Hausly does not provide color-accurate paint matching.
Common questions
Will the generated color match a paint brand?
No. An AI image is not a calibrated paint sample and should not be used to identify an exact product or shade.
Should I change the roof color in the concept?
Only if changing the roof is part of your brief. Otherwise, request that it stays and check the output against the source photograph.
