Eight Neutral Color Combinations for Home Exteriors

You can’t go wrong with ever-popular neutrals for an exterior color palette. Learn about eight neutral color combinations for exteriors that will make your home stand out in this video by Better Homes and Gardens:

1. Buttercream Yellow and White: Strike a sweet note with this soft, low contrast color scheme. Creamy yellow complemented with bright accents appears cheerful and calm.

2. Sand, Slate and Cobalt: Create a modern farmhouse vibe by combining slate trim and roofing with sand-colored stone and siding. An indigo door adds flair without flash.

3. Olive and Cream: Olive green siding and cream trim partner with burnished barn-style fixtures, creating a rustic and earthy appeal that charms from the street.

4. Sage, Gray-Green and Copper: Painted brick freshens a Tudor classic. A sage exterior contrasted by forest green shutters and copper details is fit for a fairy tale.

5. Natural Wood: Play up contemporary style with natural colors. An all-wood exterior’s natural textures and colors complement the landscape.

6. Steely Blue, Stone and White: Cool blue shingles nod to the cape, while white accents visually expand windows. Column bases clad in stone blur the boundary between the porch and sloped front yard.

7. Warm Gary and Burnt Orange: Upgrade a traditional exterior with a contemporary color scheme of warm grays. Highlight architectural features with a deep shade of gray, then splash entry with burnt orange.

8. Milky White, Clay and Heather Gray: For homes in desert areas, these muted tones borrow from the browns found in the surrounding landscape. Take a cue from native desert plants and hardscape elements to guide a neutral, natural-looking palette.
