It’s tempting to choose just about any color for your siding, but remember that this component is a significant part of your home’s curb appeal. If you live in a homeowners association (HOA) community, choosing the wrong siding color will cause problems, too.
To help you pick the right color for your exterior siding installation project, here are the top considerations to find the most suitable siding color for your property.
HOA communities typically follow a general color scheme for the roof, trim and siding. You can check your covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) for color restrictions or ask your HOA board for pre-approved shades. If your neighborhood doesn’t have an HOA, you can just drive around and observe the trim and siding colors of the houses similar to yours.
For new installations, you can mix and match siding colors as long as they adhere to HOA guidelines. But if you want a safe choice, you can simply use the colors used by your home’s original builders.
The appropriate siding color depends on the style you want. For example, to achieve a farmhouse look, you can use vertical siding with a smooth finish. If you want a cottage-style home, you can use lap or shingle siding for warmth and a wooden exterior appearance.
Your home’s architectural style determines the siding colors suitable for it. A Colonial-style home can use classic colors with unique accents while a Victorian-style home typically looks great in somber colors. If you have a rustic ranch-style home, you can use brown and red shades to achieve its aesthetic.
