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.
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.
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.
Green colour has the properties of calmness and soothing making it the perfect colour for Mediterranean touch to your house. Combining gray with green will give a nice backdrop for your house plants as well.
From lime plaster to modern colours, shades of peach remain the most used combination for the outside house painting colours. Adding just a little stroke of drown with them converts a coastal vibe into an elegant one.
Gray and white remain the timeless combination for the colours be it in exteriors or interiors. But to add a little drama to these monotones, add a splash of dark red maybe in the window shutters or just the doors of the house!
Pink adds the charm and cerulean compliments it in a nautical way. One can paint walls with pink and elevated elements of the exterior blue and keeping the beams white.
Both these colours elevate the richness of any house. Blending easily with the surrounding landscapes but still managing to stand out from other painting colour combinations.
This warm-toned colour pallet makes an elusive charm with a hint of statement. Paint the shutters and doors with light blue while walls and cornices with beige and ivory.
The unique combination of Deep Sea and Terracotta is no new to us. Traces found from the coastal outside house painting colours. One can paint doors with Red, roof lines with Pastel Deep Sea and white can go for the edges.
This colour compilation is inspired directly by nature’s combination. Just imagine natural objects or a dragonfly! This colouring match is always a safe bet and the perfect balance of vibrancy and subtlety.
Comprising White and Hazel Wood, Yellow evokes a feeling of rusty charm to the building. To highlight certain elements of the house, white can be applied to the walls, and Yellow can be applied to some elements of the house.
From old to new constructions, charcoal black, and pearl white can add charm to all types of architectural styles. It remains to be the timeless composition amongst all the shades. Having a splash of greenery along this is a plus point.
Yellow and Black are the highlighting colours, while white works as the middle-man keeping both these colours balanced and not overdone. To the monochromes of black and white, yellow adds the feeling of freshness and zest of a modern suburban vibe.
Other creative matches with gray, dark brown, and rustic red, powdering the perfect blend of lights and darks. With all the others a bit similar shades, rustic red is the highlight of specific architectural elements.
This bold compilation might sound skeptical but brown is a versatile shade that goes with most of the colouring shades. Cadet Blue will add a cool hint of subtleness to the gray and brown modernist architectural style.
This captivating colour combination sets apart your house from the regular brick house. Warm gray can varied into multiple pigmented shades according to the elements you want to highlight. Rustic yet modern, this colour pallet sets a robust tone.
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.
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.
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.
Living in an urban city but longing to have a sentiment of the farm-side suburban home? Apply Dust Peach and Saddle Brown to your outside house painting colour. Both these shades generated out of earthen-inspired components, will transform your house straight to the suburbs.
Want your house to look straight out like the ones in the movies? Combine these futuristic colours – beige, brown, cream, and grey. All these colours can be mix and match with all of the shades of individual colours.
For making your house look lightweight and effortlessly beautiful, go for shades of green paired up with black. Green shades allure the refreshing and soothing feel while black will add drama to the green. One can also combine light and dark shades of black with green to amplify the heaviness as well.
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.
When every house is painted in greys and brown, just alter the shades smartly to stand out. instead of brown add rosewood and bright tan colour in the inner elevations to create the depth.
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.
There are endless possibilities to have fun with when it comes to outside house painting colour combinations. One can go gaga with their creative eye and combine the rarest of the possible compilations. Depending on the surrounding context, architectural style, and elements colour combinations can be chosen. With these 25 alluring outside house painting colour combinations, we commit you to elevate your house and reflect your personality with out combinations.
