VIBRANT HOUSE EXTERIOR COLOR BLEND

July 19, 2008
  • Share

Choosing a color to paint your house is a huge decision that will have long-term repercussions. Finding the right house exterior color combinations can be a huge challenge if you don’t have an idea in mind. Choosing a light neutral exterior paint color like white, beige, or gray is a safe decision. While darker neutrals, such as charcoal or black, have a bit more edge but need more elbow grease to repaint if you or your real estate agent decide it’s time to lighten the atmosphere. Then, there are those who want to be more playful with their home exterior colors. Hues of blue, green, and yellow can brighten up any neighborhood. However, then there are those who like to take it up another level by combining different colors to create a unique home exterior. See the round-up below!

What color combination and how many colors can you paint your home’s exterior? Judging by the photos in this post…the possibilities are endless.

Exterior Color Combinations

TIP: Sherwin-Williams, a paint retailer, has a great online home improvement tool on its website that can help you figure out what color combinations to paint the exterior of your house. This interactive tool is called Color Visualizer. 1500 different paint colors are available to choose from. You can apply paint color combinations to pictures/images of different styles of houses including Victorian, Arts & Craft, Spanish Revival, Ranch and Colonial style homes. The tool also allows you to try out colors in interior spaces (tool has several sample bathroom, bedroom, dining room living room, and kitchen scenes). Perfect for helping you make the right paint and color selection.

Blue Gray Paint Exterior

This 1879 New England farmhouse features dreamy blue-gray paint on the exterior.  The gray paint is offset by creamy white paint, which accents the Victorian window trim and front porch detailing.  For a pop of color, they painted the front door with a high gloss pale aqua blue-green paint color.

How Often Should You Repaint Your Home Exterior?

According to Better Homes & Gardens, the recommended time for exterior painting maintenance is every 5-7 years. The timeframe may vary depending on your home location and extreme weather conditions.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
