Exterior home colors can vary based on region, climate, and personal preference. Some popular exterior house colors in recent years include gray, white, beige, blue, green, and red. When selecting a garage floor coating, the decorative chip blend you choose does not have to match the exterior house colors, but it often helps tie everything together if it does. This is especially true if the garage floor coatings go beyond the garage door, onto the concrete apron. Floor and exterior house color may also matter more if you leave your garage doors open frequently and/or use it to entertain guests (think picnics and parties).
