Photo: istockphoto.com
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 OlivePhoto: rillarchitects.com
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 SagePhoto: kerriekelly.com
“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.”
3. Putty and GrayPhoto: highmark-builders.com
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!”

“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 BluePhoto: sherwin-williams.com
“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. Charcoal and LimePhoto: awarchitect.com
A wonderful way to make a bold color statement on modern houses—even the smallest ones—is to start with a strong neutral and add a bright pop of color on the front door. This home, designed by Ana Williamson Architect, in Menlo Park, California, combines two Benjamin Moore hues: Gunmetal (1602) for the siding and Tequila Lime (2028-30) on the door.

The Best Colors To Paint The Outside of Your House With
By Grace Lynne Fleming | Published on

Picking the right exterior color can be crucial. It’s even more important than your front door and foyer combined in terms of first impressions. Whether you’ve decided on a foundation and shutter combine or just one shade that fits the entire home, we’re here to share some classic favorites to help you decide on the perfect tone for your own home.
Think heavily on this, it should show the house’s personality as well as your family’s. And it should be traditional enough to look cozy outside, but unique enough to stand out on the street. Take a look!
There’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to personal preference but there’s also some options that tend to be more popular then others. When it comes to house colors that also depends on the region, style and a lot of other elements.
Light neutrals
There’s no doubt about it, most houses are painted in either classic white or some other light and neutral color. A lot of times it makes sense because we want our homes to look nice and clean and we don’t want them to stand out too much. Light neutrals are also very versatile and easy to pair with pretty much everything else.
Organic and natural colors
Another very common choice is to have the exterior of the house either painted or decorated with colors that match the palette of materials the structure is made of. For instance if the house is made of stone or brick then the rest of the exterior is made to match that look. This gives it an organic look that feels very natural.
1. Smooth, Chocolatey Brown.
Dark enough to stay timeless, but less harsh on the eyes than the favorite black, chocolate brown has a soft, welcoming vibe. It looks great on larger houses and looks even better paired with soft greens and creamy whites for a down-home, natural style.
2. Silky, Sky Blue.
It’s cheerful, yet serene and relaxing. Everyone loves blue. It’s reminiscent of the ocean, the sky and balances out emotions for calming effect. It’ll definitely brighten up the neighborhood.
3. Creamy, Cuddly White.
Nix the bright and go with a creamy, sultrier white for the exterior. It meshes well with a variety of shutter shades, from the most unique of hunter greens to the most subtle of camel colors.
4. Natural, Warm Green.
Reminiscent of a crisp, fall day in the forest, these toned-down greens are perfect for making a statement. If you’re torn towards rustic, vintage-inspired spaces, then this may be the perfect pick for the outside of your home.
5. Hazey, Mysterious Grey.
My favorite neutral tones, is grey. It’s easy, it’s light but still have that mysterious, sexy side that makes everyone feel welcome and excited. It’s a great way to create a foundation that mixes well with any theme too.
6. Happy, Playful Yellow.
A classic look for the classic family home, yellow makes everyone smile. It may not be the best to dress your bedroom in but it surely shines outside.
7. Vibrant, Brick Red.
Most will only do the trim in a vibrant, brick red, but whatever you decide your house will surely have a fashion-foward, curbside appeal that no other houses in the neighborhood will have with such a bold shade.
8. Bold, Midnight Black.Everyone loves black, it’s the classiest of all colors! And when done right, it’s the most sophisticated way to dress your home. White shutters will add that timeless touch!
9. Sandy, Beachy Beige.
For a laid-back, relaxed vibe, that’s perfect for beach lovers or those that live near the water, go with something a bit more sandy. It’s upbeat but still makes for a great foundation.

With a bit more punch than a light hazey grey, navy speaks to the eclectic in most. Use it on uniquely styled houses for an interesting style.
Browns and earthy nuances
We also commonly see a lot of houses that have brown-based exteriors. That makes total sense when it comes to certain materials like wood in particular. Also, brown and other earthy colors are so popular because they add a lot of warmth to the space around them and we want our homes to feel inviting and cozy.
Feng Shui and color
If you’re unsure what color to choose for the exterior of your house so it looks nice and also feels good at the same time, consider applying some feng shui principles. For instance, try to achieve harmony through color. Pick nuances that blend with the surroundings, whether it’s the natural terrain around the house or other structures.
Be sure to also add some highlights to your color palette so the house doesn’t completely blend in and lose its individuality. These highlights can be added in lots of different ways through things like the window trims, front door and various architectural and design details.
A blend of warm and cool tones
This house designed by Anchor Builders has a color palette that’s very appealing and we don’t really get to understand why right away. A closer look at it then gives us the answer: the colors are balanced. The blue tones of the roof are reminiscent of the sky but also go really well with the warm nuances on the exterior walls and the red accents.
Warm and earthy
It may not be very impressive in size but this house by studio Coddington Design sure looks super lovely. That’s in part due to its architecture but also to its color palette. The warm and earthy nuances used on the exterior combined with the roof shingles and the curved entryway create such a welcoming feel here.
Bright white farmhouse vibes
As mentioned before, white is a classic color when it comes to house exteriors. When paired with a style that’s typically warm and inviting like that of this farmhouse it doesn’t feel cold and austere but instead it helps to make the building look bright, airy and very fresh.
Shades of grey
Greys are sometimes considered a safe choice because they’re very versatile and go with everything. When used on buildings this can either result in a very bland look or in a stylish and modern aesthetic. This beautiful house designed by Cariton Edwards definitely falls into the second category.
Strong contrasts based on neutrals
Just because the colors themselves are individually very simple, neutral and bland that doesn’t mean that they can’t look interesting and bold when put together. A perfect example is this magnificent suburban house designed by studio DeGraw & DeHaan Architects. It makes use of dark grays, warm neutrals and whites.
Perfect harmony
The first thing comes to mind when looking at this house is harmony. Everything just fits so well together. The vibrant green of the plants and the trees and the warm lighting peeking from inside really help to complement the soft and neutral tones chosen for the exterior of the house.
Look to the sky
Blue is not really a very common color for houses and exteriors in general, not as common as white or as all the neutrals anyway. It does however have an advantage over other through the fact that it’s the color of the sky and the ocean. It’s also complementary to orange which makes this particular house look so beautiful in the end.
Rustic wood tones
Dark wood tones and this material in general are often associated with rustic design so it makes perfect sense for this combo to look great on this small cabin-like house by studio Timberpeg. The contrasts are soft and subtle and based on similar nuances which adds continuity to the design.
Autumn colors
The beautiful colors of the stone combined with the autumn colors of the landscape look magnificent together and make such a wonderful pair. Of course, that doesn’t mean this is strictly an autumn-inspired type of design. A stone house like the one designed by Taliman Segerson Builders has sufficient character to stand out on its own in any context.
Greens and browns
Does this house by studio Lands End Development give you a hunting cabin sort of vibe? That’s all in the colors. Greens and browns go really well together and have an organic relationship because they’re both found in nature. They’re paired here with a few bright red accents which looks really cool and add diversity to the design.

What color to paint the house: choosing the right shade
Before the summer season, it's time to update the facade of a country house. We suggest what color to paint the house outside and show photos of beautiful examples. The choice is influenced by practical and aesthetic factors.
What color to choose for exterior decoration:
Things to consider
- Features of the site and house
- Roof
- Lining material
Color options
Color types
Let's talk about aesthetics first. The rules come down to the covering ability of the material and its durability. Dark colors have less consumption, which reduces the cost of work. In addition, they attract heat, so they are best used in cloudy, cold areas.
If it is important that the wall fade more slowly, choose a light color. On the surface painted with it, dust is less noticeable, it will retain saturation longer. Red and all its shades fade the fastest. The maximum brightness period is 5-7 years. Next, let's talk about successful combinations for different areas. nine0003

At the first stage, you can use various online services to select a palette. Download special applications or look for sites. You can use official Pantone services. It is also important to take into account several factors, which we will now discuss.
Site location
- In the southern regions, black tone and a dark palette are usually not used.
In the north, in the mountains, brown, gray, bright walls look good. Proximity to the sea is played with pink, blue, turquoise, beige shades. nine0010
- Rural and country houses provide more room for creativity. Cottages located within the city are usually painted in something neutral to match neighboring buildings.
- A building of a simple form without elegant details adorns a bright facade. It will help divert attention from construction flaws.
- On the contrary, if the building has bas-reliefs or other decorative details, a neutral background would be appropriate.
- The building must stand out on your lot. The green cladding is lost against the background of tall shrubs and trees. nine0010
- Interior. Some styles (for example, Victorian, classic, hi-tech, modern) are logical to apply on the outside in order to maintain a coherent picture.
- It happens that in the design of rooms there is no certain style, but there is panoramic glazing.
In this case, you can also build on the internal design of walls and floors.
- Sauna, outbuildings, gates and everything on the site plays a role in the choice of paint. The task is to create a single project. nine0010

Roof color
Usually this part of the house is different from the facade. It is desirable that they are combined with each other. For example, what color to paint the house if the roof is brown? In this case, it is recommended to use white, beige, shades of brown, blue. Gray tiles or slate can be combined with orange, blue, darker gray, burgundy, white, green, blue walls. Red roof - with gray, brown, black, yellow. Black - with light colors. nine0003
There is one more rule: the brighter the building, the more inconspicuous the roof should be. And vice versa.

Other elements of the building are sometimes distinguished from the general background. For example, platbands, drainpipes, cornices, doors. Another option is to combine several variations of the same color. In this case, use the combination rule: a dark plinth, a slightly lighter roof, and a medium-density paint for the walls. nine0003

Facade material
Private wooden cottages and dachas are usually coated with antiseptic translucent or top coats. The former retain the pattern of timber or logs, the latter only its relief. If the facade is made of stone, brick or unpainted wood, you need to select decorative elements, a roof, a pediment. nine0003
To find a harmonious combination, look for it in the texture of these materials. Inclusions in stone or knots in wood are the best source of inspiration in this case. Brick is beautifully combined with brown, white, red, green and their derivative shades.

These are general points to consider when choosing an outdoor design. After you find your color, paint a large sheet of paper or drywall with it and attach it to the building. Step back a long distance and evaluate how this option looks. Even better is to do it directly on the wall, as the paint manifests itself differently on different surfaces. During the day, you will be able to understand how the building will look with different lighting. nine0003
We list the most popular finishes.
Brown
A classic country house finish. Associated with warmth, comfort, closeness to nature.

White
White, like yellow, is perceived as elegant, joyful. In addition, it harmonizes perfectly with greenery. Deciduous trees next to such a structure look openwork, and for bright plants this is one of the best backgrounds. True, in winter it will merge with snow. Therefore, it is better to combine it with black, brown, red, blue, pink, blue. All of the above applies to beige facades. nine0003

Gray
A discreet palette might seem boring, but it's not. Together with snow-white or brown accents, it creates a cozy, elegant picture. This painting option is very practical - dust and dirt are the least noticeable on the surface. If you are thinking about what color to paint the outside of a wooden house, and you don’t like the option with a transparent stain, pay attention to the gray scale. nine0003

Green
Use it only if there are few trees nearby. Suitable for both cottages and cottages in the city. It is both bright and calm color.
Instagram @ cottage_a_day
A light gray-green hue that is trending this year. It is neutral, but at the same time unbeaten. It is combined with dark blue, gray, red-orange, coffee, swamp green, white. In each of the combinations, sage will look different.

Yellow
Bright canary or pale yellow are associated with freshness, sun, warmth. Paint a house with it and even in the off-season the site will not be gloomy. Against such a background, white platbands and a brown roof look good.

Red
A deep ruby red that is not often used in home decoration and is completely in vain. This color emphasizes the beauty of landscape design on the site, stands out from other buildings, looks great in any season. The only downside is that it burns out fairly quickly. Combines beautifully with wood. nine0003

Also on sale there are textured compositions resembling decorative plaster. They include fine granulate, which makes the wall grainy. This mixture is suitable for cases where you need to hide the defects of the cladding. It is applied in a thick layer and therefore careful leveling of the surface is not required.

According to the method of action
Frame and other wooden structures are often coated with transparent and tinted antiseptics, alkyd, oil or acrylic paints. The latter are preferred for a number of reasons.
- They are easier to work with. Can be diluted with water, tinted in any color (you just need to buy a white base and pigments).
- No unpleasant odour.
- Fast drying. nine0009 Vapor permeability.
- Elasticity. The layer does not crack when the facade is deformed.
Oil formulations are very weather resistant, strong but take a long time to dry and do not ductility. Alkyd mixtures withstand low temperatures, but are quickly erased. Antiseptic impregnations are the most suitable option, as they preserve the beauty of wood and protect it from moisture and insects.

nine0002 Builders recommend covering plastered walls with water-dispersion paints - acrylic and silicone. They are eco-friendly, non-flammable, waterproof and retain their color for a long time. They are applied with rollers, brushes or spray guns. If the wall has already been painted, the old finish is removed from it, the defects that have appeared are puttied, the surface is primed and then repainted.Prepared by

The whole palette of fashionable colors can be safely diluted with the usual light, or vice versa, dark color - to give integrity to the image and highlight some elements of the house, such as architraves, corners and terraces. Of course, it is not necessary to use only these colors in the decoration of the house, you can use slightly brighter, or more pastel shades of each color - at the peak of popularity, the combination of orange Flame Orange - "Fire Orange" and delicate Tanager Turquoise - "Turquoise Tanager". A combination of neutral shades will always be relevant - white, gray, navy blue, and beige. It all depends on your taste and style of the house. nine0003

Almost all the colors presented by Pantone are suitable for the Victorian style - this style is associated with pastels, coupled with bright, deep colors.

Colors of "Constructivism"
For cold Constructivism, warmer options for painting wood are suitable - a mixture of Cinnamon sticks and Saffron, or cold options - Classic blue, the so-called color of the Navy jacket - Navy blaser, which, with an advantageous contrast of textures of wood and concrete in pearl gray, or ash gray create a design of conciseness and spaciousness. This design suits those people who keep up with the times and adore simplicity in details. nine0003

Chalet style colors
The Chalet style is characterized by warmer, chocolate shades of decoration. The main thing in this style is the naturalness of the materials. Raw stones in the foundation masonry, real wood with knots and their fine structure. Warm, sometimes orange, notes in wood coloring create the atmosphere of a cozy winter evening by the fireplace with a mug of hot chocolate in hand. Of course, you can design your home the way you want it to be! Therefore, for your home, you can use the colors that you most like. nine0003

Things to Consider Before Deciding on a House Color
In order to determine the color of the house decoration most accurately, it is necessary to take into account not only the architecture, but also the surrounding landscape and the color of the roof.
So that the house does not turn out to be too colorful, it is not recommended to use more than three colors in the decoration of the house. The colors that contrast with each other look most brightly - red and green, blue and orange. If the colors are close to each other on the color wheel, the result will be neutral. White, cream and milk colors are suitable for almost any color, so they can be used as a base or as a secondary color. As for the third color, it can be both on the facade itself, creating a holistic look of the house, and “background” - the color of the landscape in which this house is located. nine0003

It is also necessary to take into account the location of your home - more natural colors and natural materials look good in the mountains, bright, saturated shades near the sea, light shades of the structure under the scorching sun.
Of course, in order for your house to arouse the admiration and envy of your neighbors, you need to harmoniously choose colors, although sometimes you can play around with color options. Below we want to give examples of how you can diversify your facade, using this year's fashionable palette. nine0003

How to combine shades
correctly In order to make your home unusual, it is enough to take a simple color as a basis, for example, Faded Denim - "Faded Denim", Mosaik blue - "Mosaic Blue", and only paint the front door in a bright color - Flame Scarlet "Scarlet Flame" , Orange Peel "Orange Peel". Thus, you will give individuality and brightness to your home. nine0003
Do you want your home to look presentable and unusual? Choose chocolate or cinnamon colors. Beautiful overflows and shades of chocolate will not leave indifferent any person, whether he is a designer or an inexperienced layman. And by diluting dark chocolate with a light, delicate shade of Sunlight - "Sunshine" you will achieve the feeling of a warm, cozy home in the Alpine mountains.

Do you live near the sea? Take on board the colors bright, sunny - such Pantone attributed the color "Biscay Green" - "Biscay Green". In this color, your house will seem light, weightless, like a sunny breeze on a bright, midday day of a cloudless summer. And if you add to this color also Orange Peel - "Orange Peel", or Saffron - "Saffron" - you will get a bright combination that pleases the eye and makes you enjoy life! nine0003
Warm and cozy is also the combination of colors Saffron - "Saffron" and Cinnamon Stick - "Cinnamon Stick". This option will always be a win-win, bright enough to show its cheerfulness, and at the same time, the combination of these colors is the closest to natural wood.

Perhaps you want something more extravagant - then turn your attention to shades of red - perhaps closer to wine color. Thanks to the chosen color, you can achieve a contrasting wow effect, because the red color will look amazing among the abundant greenery of your site. Or, you can give your façade the look of a noble mahogany finish.

Do you want more brightness and extravagance? Perhaps only one bright accent is not your option? The Pantone collection presents an unusual, but too attractive color in its shade - Grape Compote - “grape compote”. The house will look very bright, maybe even a little crazy - in the style of the films "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", but what's the difference if you like it, and the neighbor fainted with envy? nine0003

Specialists of the Pantone Institute pleased us with a beautiful green color - it combined both herbal and emerald shades. Chive is an unobtrusive color for your facade, if you want to fit your house into the surrounding green landscape. Just imagine how beautiful such a facade will look among autumn trees!
There are a great many color schemes, the main thing is to decide on the architecture, the surrounding landscape and be guided only by your wishes. nine0003
One of the recommendations is to choose the color and style of home decoration in such a way that it is combined with interior decoration as well - so you will not have the feeling that from the Chalet style in the exterior you find yourself in the interior of a fairy tale about Willy Wonka.
Having decided on the color, it remains to decide on a painting system that suits the style.
