Top 8 Exterior Color Combinations To Use In 2023 & Beyond! 

Yes, please!!!

Yes!!!!

Me too... What are those colors James??? Please...pretty please. I have black shutters (nope, non paintable) (I know weird right). Anyway, do your shutters HAVE to match like in the first picture you chose with the Blue and Taupe color?

Me too. I have seen that type of darker blue used with a more pure white trim and adding a bright yellow door really makes it pop! The other shades from the other houses are too muddy for me. Or too dark. Maybe in a cooler Northern climate. Otherwise the dark shades will really absorb the heat and make it harder to cool your house. My house is bright and cheery. Cloudberry Blue by Behr and White Frost trim by Behr. The White Frost is a beautiful white to use with blues. I forgot... The picture I have is the color... I was showing the picture of the garage door to somebody. I go bold or go home. 🤣

@Freestyle // I agree. They'd work on Northern homes, but I live in the Texas Hill Country, so it would get too hot. Your colors sound gorgeous. I do have a black front door (Tri-Corn) Black, but I have a large front covered deck and wanted to match my shutters, so thats why that happened, but I was wondering if I could paint the Gable part of the home like the blue of that house. I need a pop of color, and yes, I have dark blue outdoor furniture on my front deck, so I'm hoping it's a yes.

@@Donna-vh5ym Sounds nice! A contrasting dark blue with a lighter blue(or taupe)would work. In the Behr colors I am thinking of painting my door Poppyseed Black--a nice dark bluish black. Peppercorn Black is also supposed to go well with lighter blue. Yes this color is very pretty and it makes me smile when I look at it. Others in my neighborhood have copied it.. (no HOA's)Dark purple flowers and other vivid colors of flowers look beautiful against it as the color is like the sky. So I hang baskets of colorful flowers with dark purple trailing lobelia and it looks gorgeous! And if you have dark blue, gray, or white patio furniture(or heck multi-color) it goes well with it. Bonus. You don't have to paint your garage door if it is white. Before this color I had more of a medium sage green with a dark forest green trim and upper trim in brick red contrasting trim. I may paint sage green next time with a putty colored trim with a dark burnt orange(reminds me of our Northern Fall sunsets)upper contrasting trim. It is the artist in me... I love colors of nature. Don't forget you can look at any color including colors from the past Cloudberry was from a number of years ago. Right now white and black trim are popular, but boring... My roof is a medium variegated shade of grey with darker shingles mixed in so the blue shades work well. Take your roof color into consideration too... 😉 Behr's Frost is a cool crisp white.

@Freestyle // I'm going to be like your neighbors.. I'm copying you. I already wrote down the colors. I truly appreciate it. At least I'm not in the same neighborhood..lol. . And with all your beautiful color choices, you have to be a wonderful artist. Thanks a bunch. Edit: sounds like our roof color is the same.

A Great Canvas to work with. If I may, I shall offer a little story and some suggestions to 8nsp8re your choices: I lived in Southern Nevada for 17 years and had such a connection with Dessert Dwelling. From childhood, I had always longed to be in that environment. Due to health reasons I had to return to the South Central US aka Dixie. Although all regions hold their own values of appeal, the Standards and "Values" are the very subjects that seemed to be my resistance to the area, having been relocated as a child from Chicago, to Dad's home area, NW Tennessee. (I acclimated, but it always served to be a challenge to my natural desire for Harmony, and true bond with "My Kinda Town, Chicago!" As I read your inquiry, my mind went immediately to the area & had lived, and the colors that were a natural decor flowing through the Landscape: 🔹Those deep Brown based Reds that were layered through the Mountains and Canyons, that rich Brick Red that turned a deep Burgundy in the afternoons as the Sun moved West. 🔹 The dark Browns that with weathering became a Brown based Charcoal, Soft Blacks . 🔹The deep Forest Green that offer the aroma of the High Dessert Pines, and the "Variations of the muted Greens that flowed through the Dessert Plants of the Foothills. Jackrabbits in their velvet coats of variated Grays with their pristine Whipped Milk White Tails. 🔹 The Vibrant Colors of the Dessert Flowers that magically lite the landscape after the Spring Rainfall:. Vivid Purples, Fuschia Pinks, Yellow based Reds, and Buttery Yellows ... Perfect decor colors by the Divine Design of this Earth ... the Inspirations of every Passionate Creative Mind in "Design Decor" ... and 🔹the vast range of the varied hues and colors of the foundation and walls of the Dessert Sandstone: various softest Pinks, Sand, Light Beige, and Taupes. Depending on the Vegetation, Trees, and Ground cover of your Home, that which offer Shade and Natural Color, *the areas where the Sunlight illuminates the Architecture, all serve to provide the Template of Color Options and Values:* Where there is Shade for all or the larger part 9f the day, you are free to use Darker and Rocker Colors like the Brick Red, Deep Brown based Charcoal/Soft Blacks, the darker Taupes, for a trio of Individual/Particular Color Variations or Trim Colors and options of these as structure colors with either the Dark Grays or Rich Milk Whites as Trim choices. Options for Stone or Brick details, like a bay window section, chimney, or corner design details. The Base Structure Colors also may use a darker Mid Tone options with the Larger areas having multiple choice options from the Sandstone, Taupes, and/or Soft Pink based Sand, Taupe, or Beiges, and 0art8cularly those areas that have full sun and longer periods of sun exposure. Door and Entry (Feng Shui guide recommended), the Direction of Front Door: South (Reds choices "Caliente by Benjamin Moore is a go to, with taste preference to darken or add a value of yellow too; ^yellow, a deep Butter Yellow to keep it from being too School Bus Yellow); Southwest: (Soft Pinks, Salmon, Whites, Grays); West (same as Southwest); Northwest (Metallics, Copper, Steele Gray, Golden); North (Deep Blue, Blueberry, Blacks, Deep Greens); Northeast (Natural Greens, Blues, Garden Purples); East (same as Northeast with Light Browns); Southeast (Tender Garden Spring Greens, Browns, Water Blues) Running Water decor accents recommended in this area, but not in South direction. These offer Positive Energies that support various areas of Life. The piece of Exterior Design 90% 9verlook is Exterior and Landscape Lighting. It 8s the Key to achieving the full Grandeur 9f the Architecture, Landscape, and Colors that are the Full Achievement of the Design (that picture in the mind of what is being Created) Hope these points inspire your Perfect Design Achievements and Successes. Beth PS: The Iron Ore would be the Brown based Charcoal/Soft Black, I referenced. The Rich Milk is a Cool Whip White, is has a creamy base. 🔹(No blues in the Grays)!) That's a real important point.) He nails that point too. Salmon pairs well with Taupes, Browns, Brick, and Grays, as does particular shades of Red and Muted Yellows, the Rich Wires or Charcoal/Soft Blacks for Trim can further combine to Punch up the Color Designs appeal.

Yes I have one in SoCal.

Was going to ask the same question. I haven't found a good way to do this on any of the paint manufacturers sites. It is very difficult to get color on all the different surfaces.

Please 🙏

Oh red brick is a classicccc!

All my neighbors have been painting their red brick houses with beautiful neutral colors because they're sick and tired of the red brick, myself included. I'm in love with my home now, the red is just too dark and old looking.

@@christinewhite6879 Did you do research on painting brick? We have partial. brick on our home and was considering painting it since we are getting the exterior painted soon, but after doing some research have opted against it.

​@@memememe3814I'm lime washing mine next month :D

@@AT-tw3oz OOOhh sounds beautiful. We ended up painting the entire house (Benjamin Moore White Dove), and left the brick surrounding the entry way and garage door as is.
