Exterior Paint Colors That Make Your Home Stand Out

Home Painting

When driving through a neighborhood, most houses are often a tone of some light shade of color. White houses, beige or light yellows often blend together. Whenever there is a house painted with bright, bold colors, it stands out starkly in comparison. If you are considering changing the exterior painting on your home and are looking for something new, consider these fresh colors and how they can really make your home pop.

 

Yellow

Often, very pale yellows are used in the exterior painting of homes. However, if a really bright yellow is used with the correct accents, the home can stand out significantly. A sunny and happy color, yellow can invoke positive feelings in a home before even going inside.

 

Orange

When thinking of orange on a house, try not to imagine the orange fruit wrapping around the exterior of the home. Instead, think of more of a brick orange color that has hues of brown or pale orange for a more subtle shade of orange. The right shade of orange can cause the house to draw attention in all the right ways.

 

Violet

Having a purple house is one of those dreams that follow us from childhood. While bright purple may be an eyesore, a nice shade of violet with either white or even dark purple accents can allow the exterior painting of your house to stand out in a way that puts a smile on your face.

 

Red

A classic look, red exterior painting with white accents will never go out of style. Invoking a traditional appearance, this farmhouse look can be achieved on a variety of house designs. Charming and picturesque, this stunning color will always be a solid go-to.

 

Black

More restrictive, black is a bold color for exterior painting. Usually used on very modern homes, or traditional homes with a white trim, it can be a great option when used considerately.
