Exterior Trim Colour
Q: What colour should we paint our exterior trim?
Full Question
I would like advice on our exterior trim colour. Our house is a standard house with white vinyl siding and currently a blue trim. We don't like the blue and want a more “heritage” feel to the home. Any suggestions?
Answer
In fact, there is nothing about blue that isn’t “heritage” other than the particular colour blue you choose. One element to consider when making this choice is, your climate, and whether you want an urban or country feel to your “heritage” look...
All the major paint companies carry what they called Historical or Classic colours. You will find many choices there. A darker colour such as a mossy green with a grey undertone, will give the home a more sophisticated look and complement your landscaping. A lighter colour such as a creamy pale yellow will make your home have more of a classic cottage look and will offset your landscaping too.
