Selecting the Right Exterior Paint Color for Your Home

Derek Obringer • August 23, 2023

Choosing an exterior paint color for your home is a big decision. It can add value to your home and change its appearance dramatically. But it can be difficult to choose just one color when so many options are available! 

Tips for Choosing an Exterior Color 

Here are some tips to help you select the perfect paint color for your home's exterior: 

  • Consider the architecture and style of your home. Does it have a classic, traditional look? Or is it more modern and contemporary? Your paint color should match the style of your home. 
  • Take into account surrounding colors. Make sure the colors you choose for your home go well with other homes in the neighborhood or nearby buildings.
  • Consider the climate and geography of your location. Certain colors may look better in certain climates or regions. 
  • Think about complementary colors. Choose a main color for the house, then select a few complementary shades for trim, shutters, doors, etc. 
  • Don't forget to consider lighting. Colors can look different at different times of day or night, so consider how the color will look in different light conditions. 

Popular Exterior House Paint Colors

Popular exterior house colors include: 

  • Shades of grey, blue, and green. Neutral shades are great for a timeless and classic look. Blue is a great way to add color with a more subtle appearance. 
  • White or off-white. These colors can brighten the home and make it look clean and inviting. It is also a great color to choose if you are planning to sell your home in the near future. 
  • Earth tones like tan, beige, brown, or yellow. These colors create a warm and inviting look. 
  • Dark colors like deep blues or dark grays can be great for homes in cooler climates. These colors provide a modern look and also absorb light and heat, keeping your home warm. 
  • Bold colors like red, orange, or purple. These colors can make your home stand out from the rest of the neighborhood! If you don't want to paint the entire house this color, consider just painting the roof for a pop of color. 

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Painter


Once you've selected a color for your home, it's important to make sure it is applied correctly. Professional painters are trained to properly prepare surfaces and use the right tools and techniques to ensure an even coat of paint that looks great and lasts for years. 


So if you're thinking about painting your home's exterior, consider hiring a professional painter to ensure the job is done right!
