Four Colors To Avoid On Your Commercial Exterior

Dec 20, 2022 | Color Tips

All business owners know that appearances are incredibly important when it comes to the success of your company. Here at Pro 1 Painters, our commercial painters know that using the best exterior paint is crucial to achieving the look you desire. It is important to note, however, that the paint color also plays an extremely important role. Today we will discuss four paint colors to absolutely avoid when it comes to the exterior of your business. These colors have tested poorly time and time again, so when the time comes for a new coat of paint, remember this!

How to Choose the Best Exterior Paint

If you are struggling to choose the best paint for the outside of your business, our professional painters are always willing to offer an opinion! Some colors work better than others for your commercial space. Here are the four colors you should avoid:

#1 – Yellow

It has been discovered that many people don’t like the color yellow. So, if you’re trying to entice new customers to visit your commercial space, yellow may turn them away! While yellow can be used nicely as an accent color inside your space, on the outside it should be avoided. If there is yellow in your logo, limit the outdoor use to your signage.

#2 – Black

Black can be expertly used in a modern setting, but it should not be overdone. A nice black and white combination can give a sharp look to your business; however, the white should be accentuated. Not only is white fresh and inviting, but it is also easy to keep it looking sharp with regular pressure-washing.

#3 – Red

Red is a color that can cause stress and anger. It also can be harsh on the eye. Any shades of red or pink should be altogether avoided, as they are not sophisticated and most likely won’t invite new customers to your business.

#4 – Green

Light green can be used to create a calm, welcoming environment, but other shades of green should be avoided. Olive green and lime green are not pleasant to look at and would not invite new customers. If you are using light green, be sure to accent it with a nice contrast like a navy blue or a crisp white.

Trust Our Exterior Painters

So what do we recommend? Grays, whites and creams, and blues all create excellent backgrounds for a variety of logos. They will make your business look sophisticated and polished. This could definitely have a positive effect on your profits.

Whatever color you decide, our experts will refresh and transform your commercial space. When you hire Pro 1 Painters, you are hiring professionals with the highest standards for quality. Before any painting project, we will listen to exactly what you are looking for. We will make note of your budget as well as when you would like the project completed. It is our goal to consistently complete our projects on time and under budget.

El from A.
Pro 1 was amazing to work with when we had the exterior of our newly purchased home updated. They ALWAYS go above and beyond to communicate with their customers and to provide exceptional service. Their quote was spot on, and because we had used them on our previous home they gave us a loyalty discount. We knew our new home had some siding damage, but once the crew started working it became apparent that the damage was far more extensive than we all thought. No problem. The company leaders and our on site crew leader took it all in stride and got the job done with meticulous care and efficiency. Pro 1 has the expertise and crew power to handle so much more than painting. They hung paneling and installed trim in our unfinished ugly old garage and installed a new security door for us. Then they put a beautiful epoxy paint on the floor that is not only beautiful, but super resilient against oil spills and other garage messes. Honestly, I now consider these guys friends and we trust them infinitely. Do yourself a favor and don’t use anyone else for your painting needs!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, El! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with us and that we could assist with both your old and new homes. Your loyalty and trust in our services mean a lot to us. We’re glad to have built a friendly relationship and appreciate your high recommendations!
