Siding protects your home from moisture infiltration and damage from weather extremes. Furthermore, it improves your home’s curb appeal, especially with the right combination of siding and trim colors.
If you’re replacing your old siding or repainting your home’s exterior, here are some tips that will help you choose the perfect colors for your siding and trim.
Look up design or color scheme ideas on the internet, including Pinterest. Home magazines are also good sources of inspiration. Make a compilation of the designs that have caught your eye and have experts weigh in.
Understanding color combination principles is a good foundation for making sensible choices. You can utilize the color wheel to determine complementary, analogous, contrasting or triadic color combinations that may suit your property.
Drive around your neighborhood and observe the typical colors used on the siding. As much as possible, your home’s exterior should match the rest of your neighborhood so that your property won’t stick out like a sore thumb.
Go to your local siding supplier and ask for large samples of colors you’re considering. Take them home and see how the colors look under natural light.
Your home’s architectural style can give you an idea of what colors would be appropriate for your siding and trim. For example, somber colors go well with Victorian-style architecture while lighter colors are ideal for Colonial-inspired homes. Cape Cod-style homes look great in gray-blue shades, and contemporary homes can feature mixed textures on a neutral palette.
