There are so many factors that come into play when it comes to color and paint (exterior surroundings, reflection, material, light reflective value, etc). You also have to keep in mind, a specific paint color might look totally different on your home than on your neighbors or an image on the internet. It’s important to get it right and choose a style that will last for at least 5-10 years. It can be costly, and nobody wants to paint their exterior every single year.
Exterior paint is a bigger commitment than interior, just because of the amount and square footage. You can’t beat a classic color combo! As I’ve said over and over again in previous paint posts, it’s VERY important to swatch and test your paint before committing. If your home is naturally “sectioned off” try some exterior color blocking like the example above!ĭo you have other favorite exterior color palettes? I’ll definitely be pinning these for when the time comes to address my own exterior. I especially enjoy the application of the paint on this exterior- with the second level being painted in a contrasting navy. Lastly, don’t be afraid of classic colors when paired with wood. It’s always best practice to test before painting! Red brick steps lead up to a white home accented with dentil molding and boasting a covered porch. Please keep in mind all paint should be swatched and will look different depending on your home, the exterior material, the lighting, and the surroundings that reflect and bounce color in an exterior setting. White and gray home exterior includes light gray shutters on rails, a gray covered porch, a black panel front door and large horizontal house numbers. These are color swatches I pulled together based on the original images to recreate the exterior look. *The following images are linked accordingly to the original source, designer, or architect.

Either way, I thought it’d be fun to share exterior color palettes and combinations I think are timeless, classic, and true winners- no matter the style of your home. Maybe it’s because I’ve been dreaming of adding a garage and architecturally changing the exterior aesthetic of my own home, or maybe it’s the fact that Emmett and I have been focused on improving our backyard and carport area since the warm weather has settled in for good. Lately, I’ve really been analyzing and pinning exteriors to my heart’s content.
