Naval was Sherwin-Williams color of the year in 2020 and for good reason. It can be used as a deep blue front door shade or as a lovely siding color for exteriors with plenty of light. As a versatile neutral color choice, Naval can even be paired with a rosy pink front door for a pop of color. As you can see in the image above, Naval works nicely with a dark gray front porch floor accent color like “Grey Shingle” from Sherwin.

You’ve likely heard that the best time to paint your house is when the weather warms up—and that’s largely true. Optimal weather for paint is generally when temperatures are consistently warm and above 50 degrees F. While springtime in certain parts of the country may be warm enough, in many other parts, it’s not reliably temperate, especially come nighttime when temperatures may dip into freezing territory. Also keep in mind rainy season—which arrives for most areas in the spring.

Primer is required on most bare surfaces and recommended on all surfaces for the best results. Two coats do not always require double the paint because the second coat often uses less paint. Porous and textured surfaces like brick, stucco, and concrete require more paint. Estimate one gallon of trim paint for every 6 to 8 gallons of exterior paint.
