Popular Neutral Interior Paint Colors
Timeless and inherently versatile, neutral paint colors remain a cornerstone of beautiful home design. Neutrals provide a calming backdrop that allows your furniture and decor to truly shine. White remains a popular classic, a clean canvas for your stylistic vision that still feels fresh and expansive. Shades like Pure White are a perfect choice due to their crisp, bright finish. Gray is a long-time favorite, celebrated for its ability to be both soothing and sophisticated. On the Rocks, for example, adapts beautifully to various lighting conditions and decor styles. While gray continues to be a popular neutral, Beige’s warmth has become a welcome alternative to gray’s inherently cooler tones. Shades like Accessible Beige are cozy and invite a subtle glow that many homeowners love.
Trendy Interior Paint Colors
Beyond the enduring appeal of neutrals, trendier interior paint colors invite homeowners to infuse their spaces with personality and depth, while keeping their homes looking fresh for years. Whether you want to connect with nature or add a touch of sophisticated drama, there’s a color to suit your style. Want to create natural, calming spaces? Earthy greens are a leading trend, with soft, muted blue-greens like Sea Salt offering a serene, natural vibe. Blues are also a popular color with shades ranging from soft, pale shades that uplift to deep, rich tones that add drama. For a more dramatic look, rich, saturated tones are gaining traction, with deep charcoals and near-blacks, such as Tricorn Black, offering an immediate sense of grandeur and modernity. These colors are perfect for accent walls, cabinetry or even an entire room, making for a bold statement.
Your Guide to Exterior Color Selection
What are the Best Colors for Exterior Paint?
The best exterior paint colors for your home strike a balance between style, longevity and harmony with your home's surroundings, offering a range of hues from modern neutrals to classic earth tones. Neutrals provide a sophisticated and versatile foundation for any home. Crisp whites or softer off-whites, such as Alabaster, offer timeless appeal, while greige and taupe shades, like Balanced Beige, work beautifully with various home styles and fixed elements. Grays, ranging from light to dark, provide a sophisticated feel, with Urbane Bronze making a moody, bold statement. Subtle greens and warm colors connect your home to its natural surroundings with shades like Tony Taupeproviding an inviting appeal.
Exterior Accent Paint Colors
Accent colors are a powerful tool for highlighting architectural features and adding a pop of personality to your home's exterior. Blue is a versatile go-to option, whether you prefer light and cheerful accents or want a bolder statement with deep, saturated hues. A sophisticated blue-gray, like Network Gray, offers a classic and serene look. Reds are another popular choice, often used to balance crisp white trim for an elevated appearance. For striking contrast, dark accents such as black and dark gray are frequent choices for front doors or shutters. Give Black Fox a try to create an impactful first statement.
Choosing Exterior Paint Colors
Similarly to choosing interior paint, choosing exterior paint for your home requires careful consideration of your home's unique environment. Consider how your exterior color palette will complement your landscaping. It's also crucial to account for your home's fixed elements, such as roofing, stone or brick, and choose colors that complement these existing features. To ensure satisfaction, use our paint visualizer app to visualize colors or, better yet, test large samples directly on your house to see how lighting conditions can dramatically alter a shade's appearance.
