For a complete exterior makeover, consider changing your exterior color palette. Roofing and siding contractors often recommend three colors in a combination: two complementary colors for roof and siding, with a third, often neutral color, for trim and windows. Sometimes, though, you can deviate from this rule with amazing results, as in the following:
-
White, aquamarine, and tangerine – White siding is a true classic, and can complement any color, including light shades of gray, blue, and green. Aquamarine sits in the middle of all three colors, and can also be used for accents, such as in shutters. This combination makes a bright color like tangerine pop out when used on the front door.
-
Country blue, white, and black – Country blue can be described as a medium shade of gray-blue, which adds a calm look when set against tree-lined streets or any area with lots of vegetation. White trim and window frames are perennial favorites of siding contractors, which look great against this hue. Add depth to the windows by choosing black as the exterior sash color.
-
Brick red, orange, and brown – If you’re after an autumnal color palette that looks great all year round, then the red-orange-brown combination is a must. This trio often requires a handcrafted look, which includes wood shake roofing and siding. We can help you achieve the same look with James Hardie® HardieShingle® siding and GAF Timberline HD® or Woodland® shingles.
-
Salmon pink, jade, and brown – Salmon pink, a great choice for stucco siding, appear especially well on Craftsman and Mediterranean architecture. This particular shade of pink best complemented with a jade roof and brown trim. Clay ornaments and a stone path complete the look.
-
Dark olive, cocoa, and off-white – Dark olive is another color that works in many color palettes, but especially effective as a roof color when complemented with cocoa-colored siding. To complete the weathered look, choose off-white instead of pure white siding. As experienced vinyl siding contractors, we can get you the exact shade of cocoa that does not require repainting.
