Perhaps at first glance choosing a paint color for your home’s exterior doesn’t seem like a big decision. However, when you stand in front of the wall of color swatches, you can easily be overwhelmed by the number of options available. One way to narrow down the choices is to know what designers and other homeowners are painting with. How can you know which colors are on trend?

You don’t have to watch endless renovation TV shows or buy tons of design magazines to get an idea of what’s on trend for exterior paint colors. This post compiles some of the most popular, yet enduring, colors that help your home stand out in the best possible way.

Warm Off-White

When choosing the main color for your exterior, you shouldn’t go with a pure white. However, off-white—particularly creamy, warm off-white—is fair game. It gives your exterior a light, cheery tone without being overwhelming or causing glare.

Gray

For exteriors, gray has made a come back in popularity, whether you choose light or dark gray. Light gray provides a sleek, clean alternative to off-white or beige. If you want a bold color, dark gray is a neutral that makes a statement and is very popular at the moment, for good reason.

Beige

Yes, beige is still popular as an exterior color. It seems you can’t go wrong choosing this warm shade, but stay away from excessively yellow beige tones. The almost off-white beige is very much on trend this year and likely will be for a while.

Wood Accents

Integrating wood into your house’s exterior design is a great way to add beautiful character through small accents. Plus, it helps to bring nature closer to home, which most people want after spending a year inside.

White Trim

Although pure white makes a poor choice for your exterior’s primary color, it is a great, clean option for the trim. These pops of white create eye-catching contrast and can highlight whatever color you choose for your exterior walls.

Slate or Navy Blue

These two shades are part of the blue family, but most of the time, they look and act like neutrals. A combination of blue and gray, slate blue has a cool, calming effect that can set the tone for your home before you even enter the door. Navy blue is a classic color that simultaneously looks professional, yet has character.

Ultimately, you have to make the final decision about which color you want to go with, but knowing what’s trending can reduce your stress and guide you to the right color for your house.
