The Allison Ramsey Color Collection Is Now Available in Our Configurator

Choosing exterior colors is one of the most exciting parts of bringing a house plan to life—but it can also be one of the hardest decisions to make. A color that looks beautiful on a paint chip may feel entirely different once it is paired with siding, trim, shutters, a front door, and the architectural details of your home.

That’s why we’re excited to share that the Allison Ramsey Color Collection is now available in our online Configurator.

Now, you can explore exterior color combinations, materials, and preset palettes on a house rendering to get a clearer picture of how your ideas may come together. The Allison Ramsey Color Collection includes 45 curated Sherwin-Williams colors designed to simplify and inspire your home’s exterior.

See Your Exterior Palette Come Together

Our Configurator is designed to make the home design process more visual and personal. While 3D models help you understand the overall form of a home, the Configurator helps you explore the exterior details that bring it to life.

With the Allison Ramsey Color Collection now included, you can customize color selections for:

• Siding

• Shutters

• Foundation

• Trim

• Porch ceilings

• Porch floors

• Window trim

• Front doors

Rather than relying only on individual paint chips or your imagination, the Configurator lets you see how colors work together across the full exterior of a home.

Try a lighter siding color with a deeper foundation, test a bold front door against classic shutters, or explore how a porch ceiling color complements the rest of your palette. It is an easy way to compare options and begin narrowing down the combinations that feel right for your home.

Explore Materials, Too

Color is only one part of an exterior palette. The materials you choose also play a major role in the character, texture, and overall feel of a home.

Within the Configurator, you can explore material options such as cedar shake, brick, and stone for siding. You can also select materials for the siding, roof, porch floor, and foundation.

Seeing color and materials together can make a meaningful difference. A soft neutral may feel more coastal when paired with cedar shake, more traditional beside brick, or more grounded when combined with a stone foundation. The Configurator gives you a way to explore those possibilities before making final selections.

Start With a Preset Palette

Not sure where to begin? We have also created preset color schemes inspired by the architectural styles and regions we know best:

• Coastal

• Farmhouse

• Classic Lowcountry

• Caribbean

• Mountain

These presets are not random combinations. We selected colors and materials we could genuinely see being used in real life, based on the homes we design and the clients we serve.

We also used color theory to guide the palettes—considering what should be lighter, what should be darker, and where contrast can create depth and highlight important architectural details. Those shifts in value help create natural shadows and bring more dimension to the exterior.

Make It Your Own

The presets and color categories are meant to be a starting point, not a final answer.

Color is personal, and every home should reflect the people who live there. Use a preset palette as inspiration, then adjust colors, contrast, and materials until you find the combination that feels like the ideal fit for your home.

The Configurator gives you a helpful place to explore, compare, and refine your vision. When you have narrowed down your favorites, we still recommend testing final paint samples in your home’s natural light before making a final decision.
