Commercial Building Painting Ideas & Color Combinations
The first impression a client has of your business may be the colors you paint your building. You want the colors to convey professionalism and competence.
For both the exterior and interior of a commercial building, there are basic guidelines to follow.
Commercial Building Color Combination Tips
Stay Neutral
This isn’t just good advice for Switzerland; it’s good for your paint scheme as well. Neutrals are calming and inoffensive to just about everybody. They also provide a great backdrop for your logo. Your brand name can really pop against a neutral background.
For the exterior of your building, neutrals are more likely to blend with the neighborhood. This might be important if you are in a historic district. If you feel a need to add a bit of pizzazz and personality, choosing a vibrant trim color can provide a spark without overwhelming your clients or the neighborhood association.
Avoid Freudian Slips
There is a psychology to color. Colors can influence the way people think and feel. For example, most people consider blue to be calming and serene while red is exciting or romantic.
What do you want your customers to feel when they see your building? If your company is a hip new internet startup, you might paint the building with some accent colors that scream youthful energy, such as orange. However, if your business is a respected law firm of 100 years, some hunter-green trim may be just what you need to convey longevity and reliability.
Let True Colors Shine Through
Many people use paint swatches incorrectly. Holding up swatches in the paint store and comparing them to each other does not reveal the true hue of the paint. Here are tips to see color clearly:
- Look at the swatches in the room that is to be painted.
- Hold the swatch vertically to the wall you want to paint.
- Hold the swatch against a white background.

The crew was very professional and courteous.
Kim Baker
Bruno is doing a good job in his new roll as project manager and Sal is the best painter that leads the crews for Phonak work projects. I get them started and they take it from there with very little monitoring on my part. I also like the partial billing, the organizing of my paints and if possible a year end report on what we spent on patching and painting would be great.
Mike Moore
Excellent workmanship, I didn't have to check your work. Paul and Alfonso were polite, and conscientious and treated my house as if it was their own.
Rick Orna

Paul is an excellent painter. He was very tidy and easy to work with. Paul did a great job matching the color of our front stain and his work is professional. Paul was on time and good at communicating. I would definitely recommend Precision Painting to a friend.

You guys do great work, are reasonably priced, and stand behind your work and all your people are good to work with. I will mention that on the last few jobs I noticed a very slight slip in the finished quality, things like drips or missed spots. No big deal but something I don't expect from you guys.
