Creamy White Exterior Paint As an alternative to bright, stark white, an off-white shade is much more subdued and calming. Off-white or creamy white is almost vintage and gives that lovely worn-in look that homeowners and designers love. Try [Benjamin Moore's White Dove](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/oc-17/white-dove?color=OC-17) for a sophisticated update to your exterior. It's one of their most popular shades and has become a go-to for color experts and professionals because of the shade's versatility.  ![Home that was painted a charcoal gray and has black window shutters and white trim.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Horizontal%20image%20Size.jpg?width=489&height=245&name=Horizontal%20image%20Size.jpg) ## 2. Charcoal Gray Exterior paint Do you want to make a statement with a dark but not-too-dark color? Charcoal gray or dark gray is a great place to start for your home's exterior. Dark shades are always stylish and elegant, and you can [paint your front door](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/front-door-paint-color-trends) in just about any color.

Navy Exterior Paint Navy blue is a very classic color that looks good on traditional homes as well as contemporary facades. It's unexpected and makes an impact on curb appeal, something you'll want to consider when choosing an exterior paint color. Try contrasting accents to really make the navy paint shade pop. A cheery yellow or bold red front door will look amazing with navy blue. [Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/hc-154/hale-navy?color=HC-154) is a saturated shade that's a true navy, free of green undertones.  [![EXTERIOR PAINTING PROJECT CHECKLIST Exterior Painting projects are big investments.

Gray Exterior Paint Hardly a trend but always growing in popularity, gray is certainly a classic shade for home interiors and exteriors. While beige is still a very popular color for home exteriors, many are opting to switch to a more of-the-moment gray shade.

Black Exterior Paint Let's face it—black-painted interiors and exteriors are really cool and interesting. Black is a beautiful paint color and forever in style. Those who opt for black paint aren't afraid of a little drama and dare to be noticed. Embrace the dark side and opt for a black exterior highlighted by white trim and a bold front door. We recommend using [Black Jack](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/2133-20/black-jack?color=2133-20) by Benjamin Moore for your home exterior paint color.    ![Back side of exterior of home painted sage green with white trim.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Post%20Image%20Size-Mar-06-2024-09-15-27-6378-PM.png?width=595&height=311&name=Blog%20Post%20Image%20Size-Mar-06-2024-09-15-27-6378-PM.png) ## 6. Green Exterior Paint Earthy and cool, green brings a soothing vibe to the exterior of your home. Green can either be muted and subdued or bold, depending on what you like and what style of home you have. In this case, the grayish-green hue complements the wood siding, and you can always count on most shades of green to pair perfectly with white or black trim. Try [Benjamin Moore's Saybrook Sage](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/hc-114/saybrook-sage?color=HC-114), which is "steeped in tradition" and can be used in contemporary and traditional homes alike. ![The front of the exterior of a home painted light blue with dark window shutters and white door trim.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blue%20exterior-2.jpg?width=527&height=349&name=blue%20exterior-2.jpg) ## 7. Light Blue Exterior Paint Light blue exteriors are making a splash in the world of exterior home design. This serene and calming color adds a touch of freshness and tranquility to any home's facade. Whether you have a modern or traditional style home, light blue can complement a variety of architectural designs.
