How to Coordinate Trim, Doors & Siding Colors 🏡🎨

Choosing exterior paint colors can feel overwhelming. Should the trim match the siding? Should the front door stand out? What about the garage door?

The good news is you don't need to be a color expert to create a beautiful exterior.

At Horner Painting, we recommend approaching your home's colors as a team rather than choosing each color separately.

🎨 Start With Your Siding

Your siding is usually the largest painted surface, so start there. Once you choose your main color, you can build the rest of the palette around it.

A simple approach is:

• Siding: Your main color
• Trim: A complementary color that highlights your home's details
• Door: An accent color that adds personality

🤍 Don't Forget the Trim

Trim doesn't have to be bright white! Depending on your siding, you might choose:

• Soft white
• Cream
• Gray
• Greige
• A darker version of your siding color

The right trim color can help highlight windows, rooflines, columns, and other architectural details.

🚪Let the Front Door Stand Out

Your front door is a great place to add a little personality.

A neutral exterior can look great with a deeper accent color, such as charcoal, navy, or green, or even a bold one. A contrasting front door can create a strong focal point and refresh your home's curb appeal.

🏠 Look at the Colors You Can't Change

Before picking paint, look at your:

• Roof
• Brick or stone
• Concrete
• Wood
• Landscaping

Your new colors don't need to match these features exactly; they just need to work together.

And because Colorado's natural light can change how colors appear throughout the day, it's always a good idea to look at samples on the actual home before making a final decision.
