25 Alluring Outside House Painting Colour Combinations

While pondering about house makeover, the thought of painting a splash of colour combinations to the outside of your house pops up first. Among all the available exterior beautification options, painting your home is easy to execute, budget-friendly, and climatically considerate. The practice of outside-house painting remains a significant method from ancient times till today. At first, people used to apply a mixture of clay and animal dung mixed with pigmented chemicals to protect raw building materials from the climate outside. Later, with technologies enhanced, pigmented lime solutions came into the picture. Now in modern times, house painting colours are the most used ones.

But with all the various options available it is easy to get confused regarding the colour combinations. It requires a bit of a creative part to achieve a timeless colour combination that compliments your architectural style and taste. So let’s plunge into 25 distinct outside house painting colour combinations.

1. Beige + Brown

2. Black + Gray + Cherry Red

Project By: The Grid Architects

When the architectural style of your house has a statement element, go for highlighting it. To achieve that elegance in your house, using cherry red and gray works the best. Blue is one of the safest colour when it comes to adding that pop but in a subtle way. Gray undertones the red and makes a balanced combination.

There’s no wonder that ochre and brown go hand in hand with pitch roofs. But having black shade with them balances the vernacular and elegance of the house. Just line out the girders and beams with black, ochre on the walls, and brown for the roof, to emphasize the bulkiness of the house.

24. Tan + Rosewood + White + Beige

Lastly, moving to our last colour combination, let’s keep it classic. Like the old pitched roof houses we see on the big screen, combine shades of green but to make it modern insert a bit of black this time. On the rim of the roof or the parapet of the wall, black will work as a borderline of the house. But to tone down the green let’s add some brown as well. These colour combinations will give elegance and timeless delight to your house.
