BOOK OF COLOURS / EXTERIORS 2016 That white house with the yellow windows, right opposite the grey and white building… Colour — i t is among the easiest ways to recognise a house. But finding that perfect combination for your home? We’ll help you make it as effortless. A Mediterranean mustard to complement the shingled roof, or a Scandinavian grey? A single colour, or shall we accentuate the geometry of the cantilevered sit-out with a dramatic contrast. There is a lot to consider while choosing colours for the exteriors of your home — form, material, your surroundings…even, the climate! With 70 years of expertise with colour in architecture, the Asian Paints Book of Exteriors brings you inspiring colour palettes curated for a wide range of Indian homes, from the Traditional to the Modern.

THE MODERN HOME What is modern, you may ask. It can mean different things to different people.

We have traversed the country to bring you an eclectic cross section of homes that are modern in their spirit with

THE TRADITIONAL HOME The traditional Indian home is changing and so is its style. In the last 60 years, we have redefined what is now considered traditional — not necessarily old-world, but a harmonious co-existence of the antique and the current. Think gabled terracotta roofs and large windows running down the length of walls. Traditional in approach but not without contemporary cities throughout India. It is the kind of home which aspires to be modern, but comfortable in its roots. Here is a choice of colour palettes which will help you maintain this balance with panache.
