Exterior House Colors

Selecting exterior paint colors if often a big and expensive decision and can make or break curb appeal. A homes exterior color should blend with its immediate surroundings. When selecting, consider adjacent homes, surrounding foliage, and the architectural style of your house. If your home is nestled in green foliage use earthy tones. For off white and cream siding, brown and taupe blend well when used on trim and shitters. White trim is a classic choice to keep exterior lines clean and crisp while not overpowering colored siding. White trim can also keep brown exteriors from becoming too bland. For subtle hints of color use muted gold and barn reds on shutters and entry doors; these coordinate, look nice with whites and tans,  and add just enough accent to not overpower the home.
