This year homeowners crafted several unique color schemes to spruce up their home exteriors. For the latest trends in exterior house paint in Kennesaw, GA, check out this list from Fillo Painting.  

Blue

Right now, the most popular color for exterior paint is blue. More specifically, homeowners are opting for shades of rich blue like navy, robin’s egg, and stormy blue-grey. Pale blues pair well with vibrant yellow and orange and make a bold statement on an otherwise ordinary home. Blue mixed with gray is a great color for smaller facades, especially when you accent it with pure white or taupe. Dark blue looks great as an accent color or on a door, but some homeowners are using it as the primary color in the paint scheme. For homes with gray shingles or natural wood accents, this is a beautiful and bold color choice.

Red

Red is making a comeback this year, not only as an accent color but also as a primary color for exteriors. Schoolhouse red has taken over many color palettes this summer, paired with pure white, black, and even blue-grey as complementary colors. For the classic Americana look, use a vibrant red on the front door or around windows and dark blue as the primary color. For a more muted color scheme, homeowners are also using burnt red and deep burgundy with brown, taupe, and gray.

Brown

While brown is a popular color for shingles, you can also incorporate it into your home’s exterior as an accent or primary color. Dark brown is a classic primary color that goes well with white, teal, and dark red. Brown with a hint of red is good as an accent color around windows and on decorative woodwork. A color scheme with latte brown as a primary color will go well with off-white and reddish brown accents.

Black and White

Another surprising color scheme to gain popularity this year was simple black and white. For colonial style homes, this palette delivers a very stately look. No matter what color your roof is, this color scheme is very versatile. Traditionally, homeowners use black as an accent color but this year, black has become the primary focus of many color palettes. Use white for trim, window shutters, and stairs for a really dramatic look.
