Here’s a sneak peek at 2021’s most fashionable exterior painting trends from soft white to nearly black.
Creamy Warm White
Soft off-white has been a design trend throughout 2020, and it’s set to remain so throughout 2021. Our favorite shades are Seapearl and Swiss Coffee. Both are created by Benjamin Moore.
Seapearl is a warm off-white that looks amazing with wood accents. Swiss Coffee is a slightly brighter warm white. The effects are similar, although Swiss Coffee delivers more of a pop.
Pale Gray
Gray has been making a comeback throughout 2020. It packs more of a punch than beige without overpowering the eye. Whereas the appeal of stark gray with cool undertones declined in 2020, grays with warm undertones and a hint of green have been in steady demand.
Sherwin Williams makes a gray called Dovetail. It boasts warm undertones that can appear cool on cloudy days. Crushed Ice, another hit by Sherwin Williams, promises to give your home a zen look you’ll appreciate whenever you return home.
Dark Gray
If you’re yearning for a house with a dark exterior color, you’re in good company. Dark gray has become extremely popular of late. Exteriors in an almost-black gray can envelop your home in an aura of stability, respectability and soundness. Dark gray can make your home feel a bit like a fortress.
Wrought Iron is a dramatic shade of gray boasting a deep and rich charcoal color. This Benjamin Moore exterior paint is a great example of how dark gray has become the new black. Alternatively, Sherman Williams’ Cyberspace is a dark gray with blue undertones. Both hues are currently trending, and they look as classy as classy gets.
Rich Beige
This quintessential shade never goes out of style. Warm beige can give your home an understated and uncluttered elegance. Beige shades for 2021 are warm without appearing yellow.
The warmth of beige is subtle. On overcast days, it can look off-white. A good choice in the beige category is Accessible Beige by Sherwin Williams. Shaker Beige is another option. It’s 2021’s go-to shade in the beige family.
Bronze
Powerful without overstating its case, Urbane Bronze is Sherwin Williams’ color of the year. It’s poised to be one of the hottest exterior paint colors of 2021. If you want to go stronger, Aged Bronze looks amazing with metal accents like bronze patio furniture and bronze porch lights.
Pewter
Somewhere between pale gray and dark gray lies pewter. This color is less saturated than charcoal but darker than silver. Pewter is a mute shade of silvery gray with tones ranging from light to medium. This trending color is already showing up and showing off on many residential exteriors as 2021 kicks off.
Popular pewters include Revere Pewter from Benjamin Moore and Pewter Cast by Sherwin Williams. Both paints blend beautifully with natural wood accents.
Slate Blue
Slate blue is a blend of blue and gray. It can make your home look unique yet neutral. A slate blue exterior is at home practically anywhere.
Unlike many other hues, slate blue comes in multiple shades. You’ll have plenty of variations to choose from. Before you make a decision, take a look at how your favorite slate blue colors change throughout the day as a result of outdoor lighting. These colors can also look slightly different when it’s cloudy.
Navy Blue
Like slate blue, navy blue is a color with varying degrees of depth and expression. Some shades even venture into royal blue. For home exteriors, navy can make a powerful statement when accented with white. This combination delivers maximum impact, so a navy shade that’s somewhat neutral is suggested.
Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore is a bold navy that precisely fits the bill. It will give your home a grounded look that’s similar to dark gray but less intense. Navy blue looks posh wherever it shows up.
Earthy Green
Up until now, earthy green exterior paint has been something of an acquired taste. However, as one of the trending colors of 2021, it’s getting a lot of attention from homeowners looking for something different.
On Victorian homes, earthy green looks absolutely stunning when paired with wood or rich brown trim. This color looks best with accents. All by itself, the overall presentation can be a bit glum.
Earthy green can also be used as an accent color, but if you want your home to stand out, go for a green body. Take a look at Sherwin Williams’ Green Earth and Benjamin Moore’s Saybrook Sage for inspiration.
Wood Accents
Staining existing wood or adding some wood to your home’s exterior can make a huge difference in presentation. The new year shows a movement toward earthy, organic and natural elements. Thoughtfully placed accents of exterior wood make your home look polished and posh.
Splashes of Color
If you want to add pizzazz to your existing exterior paint, consider spicing things up with a pink front door. Pale pink works best with neutral colors like off-white. For more oomph, pair a deep rose door with dark gray paint. Spicing things up with an unexpected pink door is a great way to give your home a stylish new look.
