How do you render a house in a new color?

Type the home's street address into Paint Launch's Render Agent and pick a body + trim color combo from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, PPG, or Behr. The system pulls Street View imagery and AI-generates a photoreal render of the home repainted in the selected colors, preserving brick, stone, and trim materials. Each render takes about 30 seconds and is free.

Can homeowners try different colors themselves?

Yes. The customer portal includes an integrated color picker with the full Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, PPG, and Behr libraries. The homeowner clicks any color and the render re-generates in 2-3 seconds with the new body or trim color applied. The selected combo is locked when the homeowner pays a color-lock deposit.

How accurate are the colors in the render?

The rendered color matches the paint manufacturer's published RGB values for each color code. Display variance across screens means the on-screen render is a representative preview, not a perfect color match — homeowners should still see physical paint chips before final selection. Paint Launch's customer portal links to free chip orders from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore.

Can I bulk-render a whole neighborhood?

Yes. Paint Launch's bulk-render workflow takes a single street name as input and renders every house on that street in about 8-12 minutes. Pick your default body + trim combo; homeowners can swap colors on the portal later. Renders are free; installers only pay $1 per mailed paint quote when they choose to send postcards.

How to Render a House in a New Color (2026)

The short answer: type the street address into Paint Launch's Render Agent and pick a body + trim color combo. The system pulls Google Street View imagery and AI-generates a photoreal render of the home repainted in the selected colors, preserving brick, stone, and existing trim materials. About 30 seconds per render, free for as many renders as you want.

The workflow

Open Paint Launch's Render Agent. Free account, no credit card.
Type a street address or full street name.
Pick a default body + trim color. Choose from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, PPG, or Behr palettes. Use a popular regional combo to maximize conversion (Agreeable Gray with Pure White trim is a perennial winner).
Wait 30 seconds (single) or 8-12 minutes (full street).
Review the renders + wall measurements. Each home gets body wall sq ft, trim linear feet, soffit area.
Mail postcards at $1 each when ready. Homeowners can swap colors on the portal.

The full color picker on the customer portal

Each rendered home lands on a per-home customer portal. The portal includes a full color picker tied to four major paint brands:

Sherwin-Williams — full color library with SW codes for material order.
Benjamin Moore — full library with Aura/Regal Select/Ben tier filtering.
PPG — full library with Manor Hall/Timeless tier filtering.
Behr — full Home Depot-available library.

The homeowner clicks any color, the render re-generates in 2-3 seconds, and they see their actual house in the new combo. Most paint deposits happen after 3-5 color swaps on the portal — the color exploration itself drives commitment.

What's auto-calculated on every render

Body wall area in sq ft, derived from Google Solar API building geometry + story-count inference.
Trim linear feet around windows and doors.
Soffit and fascia area for separate-color pricing tier.
Gable area for accent colors.
Story count (1, 1.5, 2, 2-with-walkout-basement) for prep-tier pricing.

Auto-measurement is within 8-12% of hand-measured for typical rectangular or L-footprint homes. See instant property measurement for painting for full accuracy notes.

HOA-aware color rendering

For homes in HOA neighborhoods, Paint Launch surfaces the HOA's approved color palette (where known) directly in the color picker. Homeowners see at a glance which combos are HOA-pre-approved vs which would require board approval. For approved colors, Paint Launch auto-generates the HOA approval letter with the rendered photo and color codes — the homeowner submits from the portal in one click.

Common use cases for paint renders

Mailed paint quote postcards — the primary use case. Rendered home + body+trim combo drives 15-20% scan rates and 2-4% color-lock conversion.
Customer-portal color exploration — homeowners swap 5-15 colors on the portal before locking. Engagement compounds intent.
Neighbor follow-up after install — adjacent homes get rendered with the same body+trim combo just completed plus an HOA-approved-color signal.
HOA submission package — auto-generated approval letter with rendered photo + color codes.
Sales-call visualization — pull up the render on an iPad during the closing conversation; swap colors live.
