As spring rapidly approaches, many homeowners make the decision to refresh the exterior of their homes with paint. The transformation is not only aesthetically pleasing but can be a great way to maintain the health of the shingles and wood beneath. Once the decision has been made to paint the home, the only thing left is to determine what color palette to use!
Choosing exterior paint colors is no easy task. In fact, many homeowners find it nearly impossible to choose a hue that they love and one that is not already in use by a neighboring home, or one that will remain classic for many years to come.
Let’s take a look at some of the trending colors and classic color palettes that may help you narrow your decision and make it all that much easier.
Off-White
According to a recent survey from Alside, off-white is the most sought-after exterior shade for homeowners planning to make updates in 2023. Whites, off-whites, and neutral shades may seem like easy shades to pick but you would be amazed to find that there are hundreds of hues of whites and off-whites to choose from.
Here are some favorites that homeowners love.
Glacier White – Benjamin Moore
This beautiful shade of white is described by Benjamin Moore designers as “A versatile white with hushed grayish green tones.” Glacier White seems to be the perfect shade of white as it is mellow in direct sunlight and vibrant enough under cloudy skies.
On Point, Clare Paint
For those homeowners looking for more of a creamy white with soft hues of beige or gray, On Point by Clare Paint may be the choice for you. According to Clare, “this color looks brighter with the help of clean, natural light, and appears more medium-hued in darker spaces.”
Gray
Copley Gray
For homeowners looking for a hue in the gray family, Copley Gray is a grayish neutral with a green undertone. Depending on the light, this gray can be seen as true gray or a hint of green as the sun goes down and shadows are cast across the home.
If this isn’t the gray for you try Revere Pewter or Stonington Gray for a deep gray or more of a greige exterior.
Blue
Hale Navy
For homeowners looking to paint their exterior a shade of blue, Hale Navy is a beloved shade of navy blue for both exteriors and interiors. This perfect shade of navy blue is described as having that maritime feel without being overbearing on a surface.
As you explore exterior colors keep in mind that the color will be on your home for many years to come. Consider your environment, surrounding home colors, and the aesthetic you are hoping for.
