Many factors can affect a home’s curb appeal, but the exterior colors used in siding, roof tiles, and paint can either be a hit or miss with prospective homebuyers. While there’s no guarantee the colors you select will have a positive impact on all potential purchasers, strategically selecting your exterior color scheme can help you appeal to as many different people as possible. Using this information as a guide can help you choose colors for everything from your roof tiles to your front door. 

Choosing Exterior Colors With Wide Appeal

Consider Trends, But Stick to Timeless Options

Color trends are fleeting, but some colors withstand the test of time. Neutral colors such as greige for exterior paint or siding are generally well received while dark or bold colors tend to be off-putting.

However, grey and navy blue front doors are popular and can increase the value of your home by about $1500, according to Zillow. If you’re planning to get a new roof to improve curb appeal or to proactively fix issues that might show up on a home inspection, select roof tiles that match with your overall aesthetic. For example, that neutral grey siding would likely go well with black or a dark blue or green.

Take the Neighbors Into Consideration

Even if you don’t live in a homeowner’s association, it’s usually not a good idea to veer away from a neighborhood’s shared design or color scheme. In other words, if most houses on the street are white, you don’t want to clash by painting your house a navy blue. Rather, stand out by choosing a light color for the siding, such as periwinkle blue or beige. Keep your roof tiles consistent in color with the neighbors, too.
