The exterior color of your home is an opportunity to make a first impression. It sets the tone for your property–reflecting personal style and distinctive design. However, the color decision-making process may feel daunting. In fact, according to a recent study conducted by Behr*, more than half (55%) of homeowners say color selection is the biggest hurdle when it comes to starting a home exterior project.
The new Curb Appeal Collection featuring 30 popular exterior paint, stain and spray paint colors takes the guesswork out of the color selection process allowing you to complete your exterior project on any scale with ease.
As a bonus, the 2024 Exterior Stain Color of the Year, Tugboat, is part of the Curb Appeal collection and comfortably complements all of the colors for the ultimate exterior enhancement.
To blend into the natural beauty of wood siding, use earthy color tones like tan, green or gray for a warm and welcoming appeal.
For Ranch style homes, try terra cotta or brown shades that seamlessly blend with nature while adding a pop of color like a blue door for visual interest.
Outdoor Lights & Door Hardware: Oil Rubbed Bronze (BEHR PREMIUM™ Metallic Spray Paint)
Give your home a distinctive identity with a dark blue and light pink color combination for a bold and fun statement that showcases character and creativity.
For a home with both stone and siding, choose colors that complement them both while balancing the overall aesthetic. For example, if the brick or stone is on the lighter side, consider darker paint colors like black or deep blue for the siding and trim to create contrast.
A combination of colors creates visual interest and highlights architectural features. Consider using neighboring hues for the body of the home exterior and white for the trim. Bolder colors draw attention to architectural features like doors, shutters, or window frames.
Warm neutrals and accent colors on a two-story modern home design creates a sophisticated scene while elevating the architectural style.
