Our expert team of exterior painting professionals can give your home the renewed, refreshed look it deserves in 2021. Discover some of this year’s most popular color trends for home exteriors.

Warm, Inviting Whites

Warm whites are a big trend in 2021 for home exteriors. Benjamin Moore has several appealing shades of warm white including Swiss Coffee, Seapearl, and Acadia white. These shades of white have an attractive depth that improves the overall exterior while highlighting other features such as shutters, trim and even the front door. Your house will positively glow in the sunshine!

Pale Gray

When it comes to your home’s exterior, gray may not be on your radar. However, pale gray is picking up steam as a color trend in 2021. Instead of a slate gray, imagine your home’s exterior featuring a pale gray with warm, green undertones. In short, today’s most popular shades of gray deepen and change in the natural light. Dovetail and Crushed Ice made by Sherwin Williams are two shades to consider if you like the sound of pale gray for your abode. These shades add elegance to the look of your Woodinville WA home as well.

If you’re interested in looking a little deeper into the color gray for your home’s exterior, our residential painting team is glad to show you some examples of how we’ve used pale gray to enhance the look of many homes. We want you to be completely satisfied with the shade you choose.

Deep Gray

If you’re thinking in terms of a dramatic color change for your home’s exterior, deep gray may be what you’re looking for. Instead of a flat gray, picture a charcoal gray for your home. Wrought Iron and Iron Mountain are just two of many deep grays created by Benjamin Moore that are worth consideration. Also, check out a shade of deep gray called Cyberspace by Sherwin-Williams. A deep gray with blue undertones is especially attractive for an exterior. Also, a deep gray serves as an appealing background to white trim, shutters, or a front door.

Warm Beige

Warm beige is another option high on the list of popular color trends in 2021. Think of a shade of beige with extra fullness as opposed to one that looks like a brittle yellow. Sherwin Williams has a shade called Accessible Beige that fits with this trend. Also, Benjamin Moore has a shade known as Shaker Beige that adds depth to a home’s exterior appearance. One of the best things about choosing warm beige for your home’s exterior is a colorful front door, garage door or shutters stand out all the more.

A Glowing Bronze

Going with the color trend of bronze is sure to garner some extra attention for the exterior of your home. A shade called Urbane Bronze just happens to hold the honor of color of the year at Sherwin-Williams. This is a great color if you have exterior light fixtures in bronze, a bronze planter on the front stoop or even bronze hardware on your front door. These and other details in your outdoor decor serve to complement your home’s bronze exterior. Consider Benjamin Moore’s Aged Bronze as another way to latch onto this popular trend and make it work for your property.

Shining Pewter

Pewter is another color trend of 2021 that falls under the category of metallic shades. Two shades to take a close look at are Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore and Pewter Cast by Sherwin Williams. If you have wood trim or shutters, exterior painting work done in pewter can really highlight those features.

Slate Blue

If you are a fan of the colors gray and blue, why should you have to decide between them? Get a combination of both by choosing slate blue. Slate blue is one of those colors that looks especially attractive in the changing light. In our experience, trying a few swatches of slate blue to see what looks best during the daylight hours is an easy way to find the exact shade you’re looking for.

Navy Blue

If you love blue and want a dark shade of color for your home’s exterior, then navy blue can be an excellent option. Once again, like slate blue, the color navy blue runs from light to dark. You may want to try something that is not too dark, not too light. One example is Benjamin Moore’s shade Hale Navy. Or perhaps Sherwin-Williams’ shade of Admiral Blue.

Navy blue looks appealing on many types of home designs. It has an elegance about it that makes it especially memorable to those passing by.

Deep Green

Deep or earthy green is a beautiful option, but it’s not appropriate for every home. Our company has skilled virtual exterior designers who can provide you with a realistic image of what your home would look like with an earthy green exterior.

If you rule out earthy green for the full exterior of your home, it can work very nicely as an accent color. Sherwin Williams has a shade called Green Earth that is very appealing. Benjamin Moore’s shade Saybrook Sage is another superb choice.

Wood

Going along with the earthy color trends of 2021, staining the wood exterior of your home is a popular option. If you don’t have any wood on your home’s exterior, adding some accents such as a new door, shutters or trim can be an easy way to update its look.

A New Look for the Door

Changing the color of your front door is an easy way to refresh the look of your home in 2021. Pink is gaining in popularity as a color for a home’s front door. But, if you aren’t wild about pink for your door, green is another popular option. Take a look at Benjamin Moore’s shade called Greyhound as an example of a lovely combination of grayish green. You can see this shade on the door in the above photo.
