The siding that you choose for your home makes a big difference in its appearance and functionality. The siding you choose affects your home's energy efficiency, architectural style, aesthetics, and even its value. Whether you're choosing vinyl siding, fiber cement siding, or wood siding, it's important to choose the right color.
In this article, we'll discuss siding colors for houses to help you decide “what color siding should I get?” At FTC Oury Group, we offer a range of stunning siding colors for our customers.
The Importance of Siding Color Selection
The value, appearance, and curb appeal of your home are all impacted by your home's siding color. In a less obvious way, your home's siding color also impacts your home's character.
Some colors are light and cheerful, while others are darker and more modern. Some colors are wild and vibrant while others are muted, blending into the background. What kind of home do you want to live in?
Factors to Consider When Choosing New Siding
Roof Color
Not all siding looks right with all roof colors. How old is your roof? Will you be replacing your roof sometime in the next few years? If so, consider whether you'll be keeping the same color for your roof when you do the replacement. Red, brown, beige, and sand-colored roofs combine well with warm siding (reds, oranges, yellows) while roofs that are gray and black combine better with cool colors (blue, gray).
Your Home's Style
If you own a home that was built in a specific time period, choose colors that are period-appropriate. Choosing colors that are appropriate for the home style accentuates the architectural elements and helps the home retain the original character that gives it value.
Neighboring Home's Style & Colors
Painting your home in a style or color that stands out from your neighbors can affect your home's value. Consider the style and colors of the homes around you. Colors that blend make your home seem as if it belongs in its environment.
The Surrounding Landscape
What colors are found in the landscape around your home? What flowers, trees, and shrubs are present? Choosing siding in complementary colors can accentuate your home and your landscaping.
The Size of Your Home
Your home's size impacts which colors are most attractive and appropriate. Bold, vibrant colors are appropriate for small homes, while neutral colors are typically more appropriate for larger homes.
Popular Siding Colors
In recent years, neutral siding colors have been the preferred option for many homeowners. Grays, blues, and greens are some of the most commonly selected colors for home siding. Can't decide which is best for your home? Consider a two-tone palette.
Highlight or Hide Features of Your Home
If there's an aspect of your home that you'd like to hide, choose a muted neutral to help that part of your home blend into the background. At the same time, call attention to a part of your home that you enjoy. Installing warm wood shingles on some home features, for example, can call attention to the parts of your home that you like.
