Exterior paint visualizer results on real homes
Every example below is a house photo repainted by the visualizer, with the full paint code list under the image. Drag the handle to compare before and after.
How the house paint visualizer works
The house paint visualizer takes three steps, and your first render is free.
- Step 1
Upload a photo of your house.
One daytime photo of the front is enough. No photo yet? Start with a sample home.
- Step 2
Pick one of three color schemes.
Izzy lists the paintable parts it sees (siding, trim, shutters, front door), lets you correct them, then suggests a classic, a fitted and a bolder scheme, each with the reasoning and any risk, such as two near-black colors that look the same from the street.
- Step 3
Generate the render and take the color list to the store.
Every color comes with its brand, code, sheen and where to buy it.
Meet Izzy, your AI exterior color designer
Izzy is the AI designer behind our exterior paint visualizer: it looks at a photo of your house, chooses three color schemes for you, and tells you why each one works and what could go wrong.
Most paint tools leave the hardest decision to you: which colors. Izzy makes that call the way a color consultant would, using only real paint codes from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore and Behr. If you ask for a color that isn't on those color cards, Izzy says so and offers the closest real code instead of quietly swapping it.
Izzy also points out the risk in a scheme, for example a near-black door that disappears against dark siding from the street, or white siding that shows dirt quickly. Behr codes come with a reminder to check them in store.
Hi Alex, I'm Izzy. Show me your home and I'll suggest color schemes you can actually buy.

- Siding · SW 7069 Iron Ore
- Trim · SW 7006 Extra White
- Front door · SW 6258 Tricorn Black
Iron Ore siding and a Tricorn Black door are both near-black, so the door may disappear from the street.
An exterior paint color visualizer that only uses real paint codes
Every color InstantVisualizer suggests is a real paint code you can buy from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore or Behr. Nothing on screen is an invented shade.
Each color in a scheme comes with:
- Brand, code, color name and HEX
- LRV (light reflectance value), which tells you how light the color reads on a wall
- A suggested sheen for each surface
- Where to buy it
- The closest match in the other two brands
Example: the Modern Charcoal scheme's color list.
| Part | Color | HEX | LRV | Sheen | Where to buy | Closest in other brands |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Siding | SW 7069 Iron Ore | #434341 | 6 | Satin | Sherwin-Williams stores | BM CSP-570 Notre DameBehr PPU18-20 BroadwayVerify in store |
| Trim | SW 7006 Extra White | #EEEFEA | 86 | Semi-gloss | Sherwin-Williams stores | BM 872 White ChristmasBehr PPU18-07 Falling SnowVerify in store |
| Front door | SW 6258 Tricorn Black | #2F2F30 | 3 | Semi-gloss | Sherwin-Williams stores | BM 2132-10 BlackBehr 770F-7 BelugaVerify in store |
Screen colors are approximate, so test a sample on your wall before you paint. Paid plans export this list as a one-page summary for your painter or HOA.
How it compares to Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr and Hover visualizers
Brand visualizers and Hover let you try colors you choose yourself. InstantVisualizer's exterior paint visualizer chooses for you: it suggests three schemes across three brands and explains why each one fits your house.
| InstantVisualizer | Sherwin-Williams | Benjamin Moore | Behr | Hover | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paint colors | Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore and Behr, with the closest match in the other two | Sherwin-Williams | Benjamin Moore, 3,500+ colors | Behr | Colors from several leading brands |
| Who picks the colors | AI suggests 3 schemes with reasoning | You build a palette | You pick a color for each surface | You pick colors | You pick a palette |
| Your own photo | Yes | Yes, on the web or in the Color Expert app | Yes, up to 5 surfaces per photo | Yes | Yes |
Use a brand visualizer when you already know the brand and the color you want. Use InstantVisualizer when you are still deciding and want a shortlist of real codes you can compare.

What Izzy looks at before it suggests colors
Before this exterior paint visualizer suggests any colors, Izzy reads four things in your photo:
- The style of the house. A Victorian, a ranch and a modern farmhouse call for different palettes.
- The parts you can paint. Siding, trim, window sashes, shutters, the front door and accents.
- Their current colors. A new scheme can keep what already works.
- What stays as it is. The roof, brick and stone set the limits for every scheme.
If Izzy gets a part wrong, tap it to switch between Paint and Keep before it picks colors.
After that, ask for changes in plain words, such as:
- Make the door red
- Try a darker trim
- Same look in Benjamin Moore
Izzy answers with an updated scheme and keeps the earlier one, so you can compare them before you generate the next render. To change a single color, tap Swap: Izzy offers 3 to 5 alternatives, or you can type a color name or code.
How to take a photo for a paint visualizer
A paint visualizer gives the most accurate result from one daytime photo taken straight on, with the whole front of the house in view.
| Do | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Shoot in daylight; an overcast day gives even light | Night photos or strong low sun across the siding |
| Stand far enough back to fit the whole front, roof to ground | Close-ups that crop the roofline or one corner |
| Face the house straight on | Steep angles from the side |
| Keep trees, cars and people out of the way where you can | Large shadows or objects covering the walls |

What is an AI exterior paint visualizer?
An AI exterior paint visualizer shows new paint colors on a photo of your own house before you buy a single sample. Most visualizers hand you a color picker. InstantVisualizer's AI designer, Izzy, reads your house, proposes three color schemes built only from real, buyable paint codes, and renders the one you choose.

Izzy suggests three exterior color schemes from real Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore and Behr paint codes and paints the one you choose onto your photo. More renders start at $9.90 for a one-time pack of 5, with no subscription.
