What Color Should You Paint Your Exterior Trim? Here Are 10 Colors to Try Out

Paint It … Taupe

Taupe garage doors offer a pleasant contrast against the gray brick exterior.TESTIMONIALS

Paint It … Olive

If you’re scared of color but want to introduce it to your exterior, consider using earthy greens on your trim and shutters. While rich pine greens can appear moody and rugged, mossy greens will come off a bit softer and work well with all earth tones.

Paint It … Faded Aqua

Bring a tranquil look to your exterior by adding a muted color to your trim and shutters. Washed-out, glassy beach tones, such as faint blue-gray and faded aqua, work well with dark and light exteriors. www.manuelzpaintinghomeimprovementinc

Paint It … Glossy Red

If you’re tempted to add touches of red to your exterior, simply try painting a side door or shutters with a glossy shade of this high-energy hue. Oftentimes, just a few concentrated pops of red will do the trick without overwhelming your home.

Paint It … Brick Red

If you’re reluctant to use bold color but want to introduce it outside, consider using brick red on your trim and shutters for an unexpected splash of hue.

Paint It … Robin’s Egg Blue

Looking for a timeless accent color that works well with dark, medium and light hues? Try shades of robin’s egg blue. For a classic 1950’s vibe, consider this color for the shutters or front door of a home with dark exteriors, such as chocolate brown, brown-gray or charcoal.
