3 reasons to try before you paint
Avoid a costly repaint over a colour that looks wrong on your actual house.
Settle the decision with your partner or decorator using a real preview, not a tiny tester patch.
Skip the tester pots and the half-dry test patches on three elevations.
Quick answer: A paint colour visualiser lets you preview a new colour on your real house photo before you buy a single tin. FacadeColorizer is a free AI tool that covers both exterior facades and interior rooms, works with any brand or HEX code, and renders a photorealistic result in about 30 seconds with no sign-up.
The 4 things UK paint visualisers usually miss
Most popular tools (Dulux, Coat, Crown, Lick, Wickes) fall short on at least one of these. FacadeColorizer covers all four.
Exterior support (most are interior-only)
Dulux Visualiser, Crown MyRoom and Lick all focus on indoor rooms. FacadeColorizer handles full exteriors: facades, masonry, render, woodwork.
Brand-agnostic palette (most lock you to one brand)
Dulux only shows Dulux. Crown only shows Crown. Lick only shows Lick. We let you preview Dulux and Farrow & Ball shades, or match any colour, including a Little Greene or Sandtex tone, by pasting its HEX code.
No signup required (some now demand email)
Coat now asks for an email before the first render. FacadeColorizer gives you 1 HD simulation and 3 free AI variations with zero account, zero email.
British materials (pebbledash, render, brickwork)
Generic AR overlays smudge over textured surfaces. Our AI is tuned for pebbledash, K-Rend, London stock brick, sandstone and Victorian red brick.

What our customers found before they bought
“The bottom photo was my old planning application that got rejected, and the top one was the new submission. The difference is small, but for some councils that tiny shift in tone is what makes the call: they reject pure white and accept cream.”
“The time it saves me means I can knock 10 pounds off every quote, both for regulars and new customers.”
“Cream white is brilliant and the base of the wall is picked up perfectly.”

Why AI Beats Basic Paint Visualisers
Most UK tools use flat colour overlays or AR. FacadeColorizer AI understands your house.
Lighting-Aware
Our AI understands how daylight hits your house, so the colour preview matches real-world conditions, from bright mornings to overcast British afternoons.
Texture Preservation
Brick, render, pebbledash, stone, timber: the AI preserves the natural texture of your surfaces while applying the new colour on top.
Shadow Accuracy
No more flat, unrealistic previews. FacadeColorizer maintains natural shadows and depth for a truly photorealistic visualisation.
Your Actual House
Unlike tools that show generic house models, FacadeColorizer works on your own photo, your actual home, your actual architecture.
Brand-Agnostic
Not locked into one brand. Preview Dulux and Farrow & Ball shades, or reproduce any colour you want, including a Crown, Little Greene or Sandtex tone, by its HEX code.
Instant Results

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my photo private?
Yes. Your photo is used only to create your preview and is never sold. You keep full ownership of your image. For full details, read our privacy policy.
Is there a free UK paint visualiser?
Yes. FacadeColorizer is a free UK paint colour visualiser. You can test 1 HD simulation plus 3 free AI variations without signing up, without an email and without an app download. Optional paid plans add more renders later if you need them.
Which paint brands are included?
FacadeColorizer is brand-agnostic. Preview popular Dulux and Farrow & Ball shades, or match any colour by pasting its HEX code. Unlike the Dulux Visualiser, Crown MyRoom or Lick, you are not locked to one manufacturer's palette, so you can reproduce a Crown, Little Greene or Sandtex tone by its HEX value too.
Can I test exterior paint colours on my house photo?
Yes. FacadeColorizer was built for exterior facade visualisation first, then extended to interior rooms. Upload a daytime photo of your house and the AI applies any masonry, render or wood colour while keeping shadows, brick texture and architectural details intact. See our exterior paint visualiser and masonry paint colours guide.
Does the AI work for British house styles (Victorian, Georgian, 1930s semi)?
Yes. The AI is trained on UK-typical surfaces including red brick, London stock brick, pebbledash, K-Rend, smooth render, sandstone and timber cladding. It performs reliably on Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses, 1930s semis, new-build estates and bungalows.
Why switch from the Dulux Visualiser to FacadeColorizer?
The Dulux Visualiser only works with Dulux colours and uses basic augmented reality overlays. FacadeColorizer uses advanced AI to apply any colour realistically on your actual photo, preserving shadows, textures and lighting. It is brand-agnostic, so you can test Dulux, Farrow & Ball, Crown, Little Greene, or any custom colour. Read the full Dulux Visualiser alternative breakdown.
How does FacadeColorizer compare to Crown MyRoom Painter?
Crown MyRoom Painter is limited to Crown colours and interior rooms only. FacadeColorizer works on both exterior facades and interior rooms, supports any paint brand, and uses AI for photorealistic results rather than basic colour overlays.
Does it work on UK house exteriors?
Yes, FacadeColorizer was originally built for exterior facade visualisation. It works on brick, render, pebbledash, stone and cladding surfaces commonly found on UK homes. Upload a photo and see your house in a new colour in about 30 seconds.
