Whether you have a color in mind or not, check out the following section to learn some tips about choosing the right siding.

Drive Around the Neighborhood

One of the best ways to figure out what siding colors you do and don’t like is by looking at other homes. Find homes that have a similar architectural style to your home so that you can see the type of colors and combinations used. If you’re interested in creating a one-of-a-kind design without standing out too much, consider installing shutters with a contrasting color.

Architecture

Most architectural styles were originally designed with a palette of colors in mind. If you’re unsure of what color to choose, these might be a solid foundation to start from.

Victorian

This style of home pays tribute to Queen Victoria. Traditionally, colors like dark olives browns, greens, reds, and maroons are used. Darker shades of yellow or gold are great for highlighting architecture. Another common theme with Victorian homes is using three shades of one color. For example, olive green, forest green, and deep dark green.

Colonial

Oftentimes, colonial homes are painted with a single color such as white. If you’re looking to add a subtle modern twist, incorporate an accent color to make it pop.

Craftsman

The influence of the craftsman design comes from nature. Colors like sage, russet brown, greige, and warm reds are all great options to enhance the quality of craftsmanship in this style of home.

Contemporary

Some of the most beautiful-looking contemporary homes are designed with a combination of textures and a neutral palette.

Traditional

Classic and timeless colors are some of the most popular for traditional homes. Choosing colors like white, gray, and other neutrals will give the home a sleek look.  

Perception

Some basic color guidelines to think about when choosing your siding are:

• Light colors make a home appear larger.
  
• Dark colors make a home appear smaller.
  
• Red, yellow, and other warm colors make exterior features (such as trim and shutters) stand out.
  
• Blue, gray, green, and other cool colors make features recede.
