House Color Schemes - 15 Paint Colors for Your House
Find the Perfect Pairing for Exterior Paint Colors
1/17
Selecting a single color for your home's exterior can be difficult enough, but trying to find two or more hues that work well together in a whole house color scheme makes the decision even more challenging. Whether your aim is to highlight architectural details or simply to find a complementary shade for shutters and trim, the choice is an important one.
"Color can make a big impact on the look of a house," confirms architect Jim Rill, principal of Rill Architects, in Bethesda, Maryland. For inspiration, consider your home's style and scale as well as architectural styles typical of your neighborhood and region. "The best exterior colors are contextual to their environment," Rill observes. Here, 15 color scheme combinations that hit the mark.

1. Two-Tone Olive
2/17
Deep natural colors that recede into the landscape are typical of Craftsman-style houses. For this renovation, Rill Architects chose a duo of Benjamin Moore olive greens: Gloucester Sage (HC-100) and Dakota Woods Green (2139-20). A yellow-orange stain on the front door adds a lighthearted dash of color. "Front doors should always have character and draw subtle attention to themselves," Jim Rill points out.

2. Straw and Sage

"A balanced look always provides plenty of curb appeal," says interior designer Kerrie Kelly, principal of Kerrie Kelly Design Lab, in Sacramento, California. "Starting with a neutral shade in straw yellow sets a welcoming palette, while accents in sage green give a lively look to traditional architecture. This combination is an approachable classic year-round."

Putty and Gray 4/17
Older neighborhood dwellings guided the color choice for this Midwest home. "We chose a soft neutral for the body of the house that would allow it to stand out and yet still complement the other homes around it," reports Kristen Schammel, interior designer for Highmark Builders, in Burnsville, Minnesota. "This exterior is simple, traditional, and admired!"

4. Red and Black

"Red is a classic color," says interior designer Cindy McClure, owner of Grossmueller's Design Consultants, in Washington, D.C. "I love using it on smaller homes because they handle the color so well. Black accents like the front door and shutters look great when set off by white trim."

5. Gray and Blue
6/17
"Gray is a great neutral that can match just about any style of home and is a beautiful complement to brick," says Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams.
"The slightly more saturated shutters and door provide a sophisticated accent and bring in the tones of sky and sea." Seen here are Sherwin-Williams's Comfort Gray (SW 6205) and Rain (SW 6219).

7/17
"The combination of green, cream, and burgundy is a favorite for Victorian-style homes," reports Erika Woelfel, director of color marketing for Behr Paints. "The bold color scheme gives this home a dramatic yet warm appearance." The trio of Behr colors used here are Ivy Wreath (QE-46), Terra Sol (QE-20), and Country Lane Red (QE-07).

From clean whites and pleasing neutrals to cool blues and vibrant reds, exterior paint colors are your home's calling card to the world. Bold exterior house colors give your home a fresh take and instant curb appeal. However, the best color for an exterior of a house is versatile; neutrals are often the way to go.
Colors that add value to a home are timeless exterior house colors like calming white, smooth gray, and shades of blue. Colors that scare people away and are hardest to sell are black, pink, purple, or citrus colors.
If selling your house, a light exterior makes the house look larger and more attractive to buyers. A dark exterior shows discoloration and chipping easily and is harder to paint over if you want to make it a light-colored house.
Calibrate the color right, and you'll have a popular house exterior color that welcomes visitors when they roll up to your home. More importantly, a timeless exterior house color scheme will give you joy every time you return home for years to come. Here are modern exterior house paint colors, including a photo gallery with ideas for you to consider.

Beautified Brick
Beneath My HeartWhen home blogger Traci and husband Cy were tasked with reviving a home exterior in Nashville, they knew the first order of business was to brighten up the brick. They began with Sherwin-Williams Balanced Beige (SW7037) and had a local Lowe's store shade it down to a darker, friendlier beige color. The turquoise door, Sherwin-Williams Reflecting Pool, in semi-gloss plays well with the beige paint and the dark natural wood shutters.

Timeless Contrast
JB ArchitectureWithout a doubt, it's a look that rarely goes wrong. When you have a traditionally styled home with plenty of trim and other details, you best serve that home aesthetically when you increase the contrast between the trim and the field color. For the broad white trim of this new-construction home, Illinois-based JB Architecture wisely shaded down the field color's gray to emphasize its difference from the white trim.

Tudor Bold
Warline Painting Ltd.Tudor-style home exterior paint jobs are characterized by dark trim against a lighter field wall color. Heidi Nyline of Warline Painting, in Vancouver, British Columbia, notes that these browns and blacks are a shout-out to the Tudor's historical past when the trim was made of natural wood that had been oiled and darkened over time. Though, what really wins the game is the zesty red front door that beckons owners and visitors alike to visit this gorgeous property.
The darker blue accent tone adds drama. -

Cottage Blue
Castle & MasonCan you balance blues, whites, and reds on a home exterior without going the full-on patriotic red, white, and blue route? Taylor Cabot, a Portland, Oregon architect, did just that with his 1923 cottage. Saying that he most decidedly "did not want the house to look like an American flag," he went with a deeper, shadier blue for the main body of the house. The red was not a bright patriotic red but, like the blue, was shaded down into a darker maroon.

Victorian in Purple

Victorian-style homes are known for ornate details. Vibrant colors are practically expected and often adorn these classic homes. Creamy yellows, purples, greens, and a slate-colored roof—all make sense as a color scheme if you have a Queen Anne or Victorian-era exterior.
Multi hue schemes celebrate the home's architectural details, such as spindles and fish-scale shingles. With a Victorian, you have a broad array of colors at your disposal, including saturated shades and bold, daring colors. -

Powder Blue on Lake Michigan

Lake homes often pull their color palette from the elements from all around them, such as blue skies and the lake water. House trim is often white, much like the clouds framing in the sky, and a dark gray slate roof can complement the landscape. A powder blue falls closer to the cooler color temperature, giving your home a calm feeling.

After building a wooden house, an important question arises: how to process a log house or how to paint a wooden house outside? How to choose antiseptics and paints for painting a wooden house outside, which will provide maximum durability and at the same time not spend extra money?
TEKNOS Façade Paints
TEKNOS brand stores always stock the most complete range of quality TEKNOS materials from Finland. Here you can buy Finnish materials TEKNOS (TEKNOS) at competitive prices, which have been successfully used for many years for painting houses on a construction site. We also always have industrial materials for wood and exclusive TEKNOS materials for high-quality and durable painting of a wooden house outside and inside.
The high durability of TEKNOS materials (TEKNOS) is confirmed by independent construction experts in Finland, published on the national information portal: "www.
puuinfo.fi". In the special issue: “KESTAVAT PUUJULKISIVUT” (trans. “Long-lasting wooden facades”), the durability rating of TEKNOS materials (TEKNOS) for painting wooden houses outside is indicated:

House painting options
To help our customers decide on the exterior painting of a wooden house, we offer a preview of the options and our advice on the features of each option.
Option 1. GLAZING (SEMI-TRANSPARENT) PAINTING OF THE HOUSE OUTSIDE
Painting a wooden house on the outside with glazing antiseptics or wood oils (semi-transparent painting) leaves a visible wood grain pattern and is suitable for any type of wooden house: frame house, solid wood houses and glued beams , but most often it is used for painting log cabins and houses made of logs and profiled timber, as well as for painting the outside of wooden baths and for painting wooden fences.
Before applying the glazing antiseptic, the wood must be treated with a colorless penetrating primer antiseptic (wood impregnation) containing effective biocidal components to prevent the appearance of blue and rot.
According to our customers, the best results for the treatment of log cabins, logs, profiled timber, glued laminated timber and facade boards are provided by the water-borne priming antiseptic for wood WOODEX AQUA BASE. WOODEX AQUA BASE is environmentally friendly, odorless, recommended for processing timber, both outside and inside the house.
Therefore, it is most advantageous to purchase WOODEX AQUA BASE primer antiseptic in a 20-liter container, which is supplied from Finland exclusively for Teknos brand stores of TEKNOVIKS.
Finnish TEKNOS experts do not recommend leaving a wooden house treated with a colorless priming antiseptic WOODEX AQUA BASE without subsequent painting for a period of more than 6 months. This does not mean that the validity of WOODEX AQUA BASE is only 6 months! The reason for this recommendation is that colorless priming antiseptics do not protect wood from UV, which destroys the surface layer of wood and makes it unsuitable for high-quality and durable painting after 6 months of UV exposure.
Finishing painting of the facade of a wooden house is carried out by applying 2 layers of tinted glazing antiseptic. According to the numerous reviews of our customers and according to the Finnish experts TEKNOS (TEKNOS), the maximum durability has a special water-borne oil-based glazing antiseptic - facade oil for wood WOODEX EKO.
Due to the higher dry residue - the increased content of oil for wood, VUDEX ECO forms a durable coating on the facade of the house that protects the wood from UV and atmospheric precipitation, and at the same time allows the wood to breathe, does not form a continuous film, does not peel off. According to the experience of our customers, the service life of VUDEX ECO on the facade of a house is usually 6-8 years, but sometimes more.
Important!
Since 2017, a special glazing antiseptic - facade oil for wood VUDEX ECO is supplied from Finland exclusively to the Teknos chain of TEKNOS stores, where it can be purchased at special favorable prices.
Facade oils for painting a wooden house are becoming very popular among Russian buyers. The Teknos line of facade glazing materials includes a special glazing antiseptic based on WOODES ECO oil, which provides maximum protection for a wooden house from atmospheric precipitation and UV.
....READ MORE
If you want to use traditional TEKNOS glazing antiseptics (Teknos) on an organic solvent for painting a wooden house outside, you can choose a WOODEX BASE priming antiseptic and a WOODEX CLASSIC glazing antiseptic. The budget analogue is the HAITI glazing antiseptic, which is often used together with the JAVA penetrating priming antiseptic for painting wooden fences.
Helpful advice. Correctly paint the imitation with paints
When painting external cladding boards, imitating timber, planken, etc. it is recommended to apply the priming antiseptic WOODEX AQUA BASE and the 1st layer of glazing facade oil WOODEX ECO before mounting the boards on the facade.
According to the experience of our customers and our partners - construction companies, we do not recommend painting a wooden house from the outside by applying 2 layers of TEKNOL 1888 industrial glazing priming paint. 3 years. According to the technical description of TEKNOL 1888, this is a primer paint, not intended for facade painting.
In Finland, TEKNOL 1888 is used exclusively for priming facade boards in the factory before their subsequent painting with glazing antiseptics of the VUDEX series.
Option 2. COATING (OPAQUE) PAINTING OF THE HOUSE OUTSIDE
Covering the facade of a wooden house hides the pattern of the wood texture and is done with opaque antiseptics or facade paints, which form an opaque color coating. This option for painting a wooden house on the outside has a higher durability compared to painting with glazing antiseptics and is very popular in the Scandinavian countries. This option is most often used for painting the outside of frame houses, facade boards, houses made of glued beams. This option is used for repainting log cabins, log houses, profiled timber, wooden fences, previously painted with glazing antiseptics.
Before applying topcoat or acrylic facade paints, according to Finnish standards for professional painting of wooden houses outside, the wood must be primed with alkyd adhesive primers: NORDICA PRIMER or TEKNOL 2881.
According to our customers, the use of water-borne adhesive primer TEKNOL 2881 is preferable, as it has a fast drying time and is more cost effective. TEKNOL 2881 adhesive primer contains biocidal additives, forms a surface primer layer that increases the adhesion of acrylic facade paint to wood, which is necessary to ensure maximum durability of painting the house outside.
Helpful advice. Long-term protection of wood before painting
If the time from the beginning of the construction of a wooden house to the application of adhesive primer exceeds one month, then the Finnish specialists of TEKNOS (TEKNOS) recommend treating the wood with a primer antiseptic VUDEX AQUA BASE at the beginning of construction to reduce the risk of its deposition and appearance mold.
Finishing painting is carried out by applying 2 layers of water-based opaque antiseptic WOODEKS AQUA SOLID or applying 2 layers of NORDICA MATT or NORDICA EKO acrylic facade paint, which form an opaque, elastic and breathable coating with high weather resistance.
The new NORDICA MATT exterior acrylic paint is rapidly becoming the most popular exterior paint for wooden houses. Acrylic paint NORDICA MATT compares favorably with the well-known facade paints NORDICA ECO and NORDICA ECO 3330-03 in that it forms an attractive matte facade coating.
Helpful advice. Correct painting of a wooden frame house
application of TEKNOL 2881 adhesive primer and 1st layer of WOODEX AQUA SOLID opaque antiseptic or NORDICA ECO and NORDICA MATT exterior paints is recommended prior to installation of boards on the facade.
!!! For painting log cabins and houses made of solid wood: logs and beams, it is recommended to locally treat the ends of logs and beams with a special TEKNOL JRM composition that prevents cracking of wood. TEKNOL JRM can be applied clear or tinted in covering colors.
Important!
Detailed written instructions for the correct execution of covering the outside of a wooden house or bath with TEKNOS materials (TEKNOS), developed by Finnish specialists, are provided to our customers in any store of the TEKNOVIKS company chain.
Option 3. GLAZING PAINTING OF THE WOODEN HOUSE WITH AQUA TOP 2920-04 VARNISH.
In our opinion and experience, which coincides with the opinion of the Finnish Teknos specialists (TEKNOS), this is a beautiful, but financially costly and least practical option for painting a wooden house on the outside. This option of painting private houses from the outside has found distribution only in Russia. In Finland, AQUA TOP 2920-04 varnish is used for painting wooden window windows in production and painting elements of buildings and bridges - glued timber beams. The durability of the lacquer version of painting the facade of the house does not exceed the durability of the special glazing antiseptic with a high oil content for wood VUDEX ECO, and the cost of painting and especially the subsequent repair repainting of the house is much higher.
Sequence of painting:
- treatment of wood with a colorless penetrating primer for wood WOODEX AQUA BASE or TEKNOL AQUA 1410-01.
- application of tinted glazing primer AQUA PRIMER (AQUA PRIMER 2900-02), which provides a glazing color of wood.
- finish painting is carried out by applying 2 layers of facade varnish AQUA TOP 2920-04 protecting the wood from precipitation and UV exposure.
For proper painting, the thickness of the varnish layer must be sufficiently high: at least 300-350 µm, i.e. the consumption of 1 liter of varnish is approx. per 3 m2 of painted surface. The varnish must be applied by spraying using professional painting equipment. When applying the AQUA TOP 2920-04 varnish, one should strictly observe the temperature and humidity values recommended by the Finnish TEKNOS specialists, since even a slight deviation from these values disrupts the normal formation of the varnish film and the facade coating will not have the necessary durability.
According to the results of laboratory tests in the Russian certification center, the durability of facade varnish is estimated at up to 8 years.
However, be sure to draw the attention of our customers to the fact that this laboratory evaluation of durability was made without taking into account UV exposure. Therefore, with the practical painting of a wooden house on the outside with varnish and its operation when exposed to UV, the durability is less than 8 years. It should be taken into account that repair painting and subsequent repainting of the house in a few years will be associated with significant material costs due to the high laboriousness of removing the old varnish coating.
