There are a lot of different variables to consider in deciding which colors are right for you.<\/p>\n<p>Lighter colors tend to dry more evenly with less variations, modeling, and shades in color. Darker colors have more character, and modeling. If you like the shade of a color, but want it darker we sometimes use double color. This will slightly decrease the strength of the finish coat, but will allow you to achieve a darker richer shade. If you want a totally even uniform dark color with no imperfections it is best to paint after stucco has fully dried. . If you do decide to paint keep in mind that paint seals the pores in cement and restricts the ability of the product to evaporate water which decreases the life expectancy.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I like a little\u00a0 color variation in smooth finish, it gives walls character, and makes them unique. I love working with combinations of colors. We can combine colors and easily embed tiles in the walls, entry ways, or special places. <a href=\"http:\/\/friendsplastering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180610_120500-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-195\" src=\"http:\/\/friendsplastering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180610_120500-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsplastering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180610_120500-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/friendsplastering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180610_120500-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/friendsplastering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180610_120500-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/friendsplastering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180610_120500-1-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/friendsplastering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180610_120500-1-100x75.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Above we have a grey santa barbra smooth pillar, a 20\/30 smooth joining wall, a\u00a0 2 coat eisenwall smooth on cap and floor, and a pink 20\/30 sand\u00a0 finish on the house.

The owners bought tiles that they hand picked, and allowed us to embed them in the walls. This is my personal favorite texture for a re-stucco. It is cheaper to do than smooth, and it covers imperfections as well as a textured finish. You can see some modeling, and color variations due to the dark color and heavy troweling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">All that aside the I think the two most important questions to consider in picking out your color are: 1) What colors will your product be surrounded by? ( what color is your trim, windows, doors, roof, driveway, fences, block walls, etc) , and 2) How does it make you feel?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the right color can be hard for some.
