Your siding color is the perfect way to show your personality to everyone who drives by, as it’s the first thing they see. Take a moment to close your eyes, and I’m sure your favorite home in town is the first thing you see! Are the siding colors neutral, earthy tones that are calming, or are they bold blues that make it a show-stopper?
Choosing the best siding color for your remodel or new construction can be daunting, so we put together a list of the trending siding colors to help you narrow it down. Built on LP®SmartSide®, Diamond Kote®‘s 30-year No Fade Warranty ensures whatever color you choose will last for years to come.
Before you begin selecting siding colors, evaluate the architectural style of your home. Traditional style homes can pack a punch with one primary siding color and an accent color in the gables, while a Craftsman style home may use one color in different siding styles to bring the home to life.
Once you have an idea of the style, you will want to choose a siding color that reflects your personality and is a color you’ll fall in love with every time you pull in the driveway.
What are the trending siding colors for 2021?
Dazzling Blues
Blue is the most popular color in the world. You see it used for app icons, clothing, cars, and packaging everywhere, so it makes sense it’s becoming a favorite siding color from coast to coast. Evoking a sense of calmness and adding brightness, blue siding colors can also make your home appear larger. Additionally, blue is the perfect color to complement any architectural and siding style. When picking the ideal shade of blue, pay attention to the hues around your home - lots of greenery paired with a green-based blue will steer the house to appear greener rather than blue, whereas a home surrounded by warm-tones with a warm-blue can pull more on the pink side.
Dynamic Grays
We have all seen gray siding in our towns and cities - it’s everywhere, so it’s no surprise it continues to be a popular siding color choice. It’s a multi-faceted shade that ranges from light to dark and warm to cool-toned that pairs well with any color for trim, shutters, stone, and even shingles. With so many hues to select from, decide what ambiance you want to create. If you’re going to make a statement, choose a dark gray with light trim accents and a bold front door; meanwhile, selecting a light gray with white trim adds warmth and a vintage-feel.
Timeless Neutrals
Are you not looking for a bold color or something that every house in town has? Neutral siding colors are an excellent option for those who want to have flexibility with a color scheme and don’t want to commit to something trendy. And since neutral colors don’t have a specific undertone, it’s the best option if you are looking to pair it with an accent siding color, stone, or a fun-colored door.
