Exterior Paint Colors

Color trends are constantly changing, which is why it’s important that you choose an exterior house color that is timeless. It will help maintain you home’s curb appeal, as well as the resell value. Check out these popular exterior paint colors that you’ll love for years to come!

• Navy – An always popular color for exteriors, navy blue is a classic choice. It’s also a great alternative if you love the traditional white house with navy shutters, but want to switch things up a bit. We recommend the color In the Navy, which is a rich navy blue.
• Charcoal – Charcoal is not a pure black, but a dusty black. Think of the darkest shade of grey you can get before its black. Home’s with a dark exterior have a great resale value, thanks to the uptick in dark neutral color palettes. We recommend the shade Iron Ore.
• Cream – A warm off-white, cream is a clean and bright color that will lend an cozy but modern look to your property. Our favorite cream color is Shoji White. For a unique look, consider keeping your trim and shutters a crisp white, which will provide some contrast. 
• Olive Green – Any green is a beautiful exterior color, but olive green is our favorite. A muted brown-green, it looks great with homes that feature natural wood or stone elements. It also contrasts well with white, when used for trim or on shutters. For an olive green, check out Pewter Green.
• Deep Brown – As with olive green, a dark brown is a great natural color that will lend warmth to your home. You might try Urbane Bronze. It can be complemented with a bright white or a pure black.
• White – If you like a traditional look, you can’t go wrong with white, like the color Snowbound. For a pop of color paint your door or shutters a bright shade, like red or blue. Or maintain a sleek and minimal look with neutral accents.

When choosing an exterior paint color for you home, be sure to consider the weather where you live. Some elements, such as extreme temperatures or high humidity, will impact the colors you should consider. Otherwise, you may up needing a repaint sooner than your wallet would prefer.
