Free sign-up with email or Google. You get 2 free renders in most countries; free renders are watermarked.

In Florida, house colors have to cope with strong sun and often an HOA color list. Upload a photo of your house below to try colors on it, then see what Florida builders and painters suggest and two before and after examples.

Stucco house colors

Before and after examples

Example images are AI-generated: both the sample houses and their redesigns. Results change from render to render, so treat them as concepts, not exact product matches.

AI-drawn generic stand-in of a one-story Florida stucco house with beige walls, white window trim, a white garage door, a palm tree and a light gray tile roof — Example 1 (prompt 1 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): the beige stucco walls are now a pale coastal blue, a little brighter than we expected. The white window trim, the white garage door, the palm tree, the light gray tile roof and the driveway stayed in place. We saw no unrequested changes.

The same house with pale blue stucco walls; white trim, white garage door, palm tree and tile roof kept — Example 1 (prompt 1 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): the beige stucco walls are now a pale coastal blue, a little brighter than we expected. The white window trim, the white garage door, the palm tree, the light gray tile roof and the driveway stayed in place. We saw no unrequested changes.

AI-drawn generic stand-in of a one-story Florida stucco house with tan walls, tan window trim, a tan garage door, a palm tree and a brown tile roof — Example 2 (prompt 2 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): the tan stucco walls are now bright white, and the window trim and the garage door are dark charcoal gray. The palm tree, the brown roof tiles and the driveway stayed in place. Not asked for: the boards along the roof edges turned charcoal too.

The same house with bright white stucco, charcoal window trim and a charcoal garage door; palm tree and tile roof kept — Example 2 (prompt 2 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): the tan stucco walls are now bright white, and the window trim and the garage door are dark charcoal gray. The palm tree, the brown roof tiles and the driveway stayed in place. Not asked for: the boards along the roof edges turned charcoal too.

What the AI can and cannot do

It can repaint the stucco walls, the trim and the garage door and keep the tile roof and the palm trees, so you can compare colors on your own house.

It cannot tell you whether your HOA allows a color, or match a paint chip exactly. It may also paint nearby parts, such as the roof edge in Example 2. Treat each result as a direction, then test real samples.

What Florida builders, painters and towns suggest

These points come from Perry Homes (on paint colors for warm climates in Tampa and Texas), CertaPro Painters offices in Florida, Nichiha (on exterior trends for Florida homes), the Town of Surfside (its pre-approved residential colors) and Sherwin-Williams (its HOA color archive). The table below is our own summary. They are opinions and local rules, not general law.

Part of the scheme	Summary
Light colors	Light grays, beige and off-whites reflect sunlight and help keep a house cooler.
Coastal	Soft blues and aqua shades are named as popular near the coast.
Earth tones	Terracotta and taupe are a middle ground; they run warmer than whites.
Darker colors	Nichiha notes warmer colors, earth tones, wood accents and dark colors are popular around Orlando; darker paint absorbs more heat.
HOA	Many communities keep an approved palette, and Sherwin-Williams lists some HOA palettes online.
Towns	Some towns, such as Surfside, review exterior paint colors.

Where this page sits among the color pages

This page is about Florida houses, most of them stucco under a tile or shingle roof. For stucco in general, see stucco house colors, for a coastal house, see beach house exterior colors, and for clay tile roofs, see Mediterranean house exterior colors.

Two Florida color ideas to try

The examples were run directly on an image model, not through the tool above, so your results will look different.

Pale coastal blue. Example 1 turns beige stucco a pale blue and keeps the white trim, the white garage door and the palm tree.
White with charcoal trim. Example 2 turns tan stucco bright white with charcoal window trim and a charcoal garage door.

How to try it on your house

Photograph the front in daylight, straight on, from far enough back that the whole house, the roof and the trim fit in the frame.
Upload it in the tool at the top of this page, or open the exterior designer, and name the colors you want and the parts they go on.
Say what stays. List the parts you are keeping, such as the trim, the roof and the windows, as the prompts below do.
Check the whole image. Look at the trim, the door and the roof edges, since the model sometimes repaints a part you did not name, and run it again if something is off.

The exact prompts behind the examples

These are the edit prompts used for the two examples, word for word. Change the colors and the list of what stays to suit your house.

Prompt 1: beige stucco to pale coastal blue

Repaint ONLY the stucco walls a pale coastal blue. Keep the white window trim, the white garage door, the palm tree and the tile roof. Keep everything else unchanged: the roof, every window position, the shrubs, the lawn, the sky and the camera angle.

Prompt 2: tan stucco to white with charcoal trim

Repaint the stucco walls a bright white and the window trim and garage door a dark charcoal gray. Keep the palm tree and the tile roof. Keep everything else unchanged: the roof, every window position, the shrubs, the lawn, the sky and the camera angle.

Before you paint

Check your HOA first. Many Florida communities have approved colors and want a request before you paint.
Pick paint for the climate. Ask for an exterior paint with UV and mildew resistance.
Test in full sun. Florida sun washes colors out, so look at samples at midday as well as evening.

Who this is for

Florida homeowners, most with stucco and tile roofs, who want to see new colors before they ask the HOA or buy paint.

Frequently asked questions

What colors are best for a Florida house?

Light colors such as off-white, light gray, beige and soft blues reflect the most sun, according to the Florida builders and painters we checked.

Do I need HOA approval to repaint?

Often yes, especially for a new color. Check your community rules; many keep an approved list.

Can I show my HOA the AI picture?

You can use it to explain the idea, but it is not a paint match. Bring the real color names and samples as well.

Is this tool free?

Signing up is free and gives you 5 credits, which is enough for 2 renders in most countries. Free renders carry an AiExterior watermark. If you want more renders or clean images, paid plans are available on the pricing page.

Do I need an account?
