Benjamin Moore Paints Exterior Inspiration

Benjamin Moore Paints Exterior Inspiration Redefining Exterior Paint

Natural surroundings, neighbouring colour schemes, exterior colour trends, and your own personal preferences all play a role in choosing colours for your home exterior. From always-popular grays and neutrals to pretty pops of bolder colours, your home exterior palette is an expression of your style.

Homeowners typically use three to four colours when creating an exterior colour scheme. When planning your exterior paint colour palette, consider trim, windows, garage doors, shutters, and other exterior elements. Hues found from existing brick, stone, and roof colours also add to your exterior palette.

Consider Your Exterior Accents

If your home has an expansive front lawn or lots of greenery, a neutral siding can really make your surroundings pop.
