Selecting Siding Colors
It is exciting to think about changing your home's exterior color, but don't choose a color without putting careful thought into it. The color you pick is a decision you will be living with for a long time. Your new vinyl siding will look good and last for years to come!
Here are some considerations to keep in mind when choosing a new color scheme for your home. Please keep note, that all fiber cement siding products can be repainted down the road, if you choose to repaint your home.
Color Differences:
Colors often look different under different kinds of light. Get color chips representing your chosen colors and take them outdoors to see how they will look in the light. Compare your favorite siding and roofing colors to any trim you are thinking about.
- Lighter colors often make your home appear larger and look as if it is closer to the front of the lot.
- Darker Colors often make your home appear smaller and look as if it is farther back on the lot, this can make a larger home seem less imposing.
- Trim: Choose a trim in a color that accents your siding to add visual interest to areas like entryways or porches.
- Keep It Simple: Remember that a little bit of color goes a long way. Don't try and use more than a couple of different colors. Using a neutral shade will help emphasize the important colors.
