  • 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

    The classic colour combination for any Indian region. Beige and browns compliment the landscapes of the surroundings and add an elegant touch to your house. One can opt for either light brown for subtleness or darker shades of brown in case of highlighting.

    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.

    3. Mossy Green + Gray

    As the tempered grey has a verve of blue in the undertone, some muted shade has to be combined with it. Here, we add white to maintain the cool tones and a little bit of brown to the elevating elements to establish a natural tone as well.

    18. All White with Tints of Grey

    When unable to pin out which colour to go with, trust the whites. Go monochrome with different shades of white and splash a bit of grey to your opening elements. To add depth one can also play with cream and ivory shades at some e; elevations.

    19. Cherry Red + Harbor + Black Mist

    Harbor is a shade of silver and no wonder it matches seamlessly with black on the other hand. But won’t be that too common of a combination? Well, to break the ordinary, including Cherry Red colour. Incorporate red on the ground floor to create that architectural volume.

    23. Ochre + Black + Brown

    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.
